N2 - We welcome the opportunity to respond to the Platinum Opinion by Dr. Mian [1]. In 2015, the European Association of Urology (EAU) Urological Infections Guideline Panel initiated a systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to demonstrate how infectious complications of prostate biopsy can be reduced. The evidence was published in 2020 in two parts, covering antibiotic and nonantibiotic interventions [2], [3]. Since then, the evidence has been updated every year to ensure that the EAU guidelines reflect the most up-to-date evidence for this important diagnostic procedure.
