Prediction model for lateral lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents based on ultrasound imaging and clinical features: a retrospective study
The independent risk factors for lateral LNM in paediatric PTC patients were multifocality and tumour size on US imaging, as well as sex and age. Our model outperformed US imaging and clinical features alone in predicting the status of lateral LNM.
