Some laboratories use costly immunohistochemistry (IHC) for all cases to optimize workflow, often exceeding reimbursement for the full specimen. Despite the rise in digital pathology and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, clinical implementation studies are scarce. This prospective clinical trial evaluated whether an AI-assisted workflow for detecting PCa in PBx reduces IHC use while maintaining diagnostic safety standards.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients suspected of PCa were allocated biweekly to either a control or intervention arm. In the control arm, pathologists assessed whole-slide images (WSI) of PBx using HE and IHC stainings. In the intervention arm, pathologists used the Paige Prostate Detect AI algorithm on HE slides, requesting IHC only as needed. IHC was requested for all morphologically negative slides in the AI arm. The main outcome was the relative risk (RR) of IHC use per detected PCa case at both patient and WSI levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Overall, 143 of 237 (60.3%) slides of 64 of 82 patients contained PCa (78.0%). AI assistance significantly reduced the risk of IHC use per detected PCa case at both the patient level (RR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.39 to 0.72) and slide level (RR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.29 to 0.52). Cost reductions on IHC were \u20ac1,700 for the trial, at \u20ac50 per IHC stain.
