Research Article: Single-center external validation and reconstruction of multiple predictive models for skip lateral lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma

Date Published: 2024-08-23

Introduction:
Objective: The unique metastatic pattern of skip lateral lymph node metastasis (SLLNM) in PTC patients may lead to missed diagnosis of lateral cervical metastatic lymph nodes. Therefore, many different SLLNM prediction models were constructed. In this study, partially eligible models (Hu 2020, Wang 2020, and Zhao 2023 nomograms) were selected for external validation, and then new variables were incorporated for model reconstruction to extend clinical applicability.
