Datasheet6_A prediction model for the 5-year, 10-year and 20-year mortality of medullary thyroid carcinoma patients based on lymph node ratio and other predictors.pdf
AimTo explore the predictive value of lymph node ratio (LNR) for the prognosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) patients, and constructed prediction models for the 5-year, 10-year and 20-year mortality of MTC patients based on LNR and other predictors.MethodsThis cohort study extracted the data of 2,093 MTC patients aged ≥18 years undergoing total thyroidectomy and neck lymph nodes dissection. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank tests were performed to compare survival curves between LNR ResultsThe 5-year, 10-year and 20-year overall survival (OS) and cause-specific survival (CSS) of MTC patients with LNR ConclusionThe models displayed good predictive performance, which might help identify MTC patients might have poor outcomes and appropriate interventions should be applied in these patients.</p
