Abstract:Objective: To analyze the clinical, serological and CT features of papillary carcinoma(PTC) and search independent risk factors associated with lymph node metastasis in the central region of neck. Methods: One hundred and twenty-six cases in our hospital confirmed for PTC by immunohistochemistry after thyroid surgery from January 2017 to May 2019 were divided into central lymph node metastasis(CLNM) positive group and CLNM negative group according to the presence of lymph node metastasis in central region. Then clinical, serological and CT imaging features of the two groups were analyzed by single factor and Logistic stepwise regression to determine independent risk factors responsible for cervical lymph node metastasis in the central region of neck. The results of the prediction model were visualized by using nomograms, and the prediction model was evaluated by using ROC curve. Results: The result showed that age, tumor maximum diameter, tumor site, venous CT value, multiple lesions, microcalcification, capsule invasion, thyroglobulin(Tg) and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) were significantly correlated with CLNM(P<0.05) according to single factor analysis of 65 cases of CLNM positive group and 61 cases of CLNM negative group. The model optimization ultimately included age, cancer site, venous CT value, multiple lesions, microcalcification, and envelope invasion into the prediction model. The nomogram was established based on independent risk factors selected by Logistic stepwise regression, with AUC of 0.806, specificity of 0.705 and sensitivity of 0.769. Conclusion: The younger the age of the patients, the middle stage, low CT value(venous stage) enhancement, multiple lesions, microcalcification and capsule invasion are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in the central region of PTC.
