Predicting lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma with Hashimoto's thyroiditis using regression and network analysis.

ABSTRACT: The comprehensive study of the relationship between lymph node metastasis (LNM) and its associated factors in patients with concurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) remains insufficient. Building upon the initial investigation of factors associated with LNM in patients with concurrent PTC and HT, we further analyzed the complex relationships between different severity indicators of LNM and these associated factors. This study included patients confirmed PTC with HT who underwent total thyroidectomy at Xiangya Hospital, from January 2020 to December 2021. A total of 271 patients from 2020 were used as the training set, and 300 patients from 2021 as the validation set. Univariate analysis and regression modeling were used to identify key factors associate
