Abstract
Objective:To explore the risk factors of lymph node metastasis and multiple lymph node metastasis in patients with stage CN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods:The clinical case data of 3 099 patients with CN0 papillary thyroid cancer who underwent lymph node dissection at Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 2013 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of lymph node metastasis and multiple lymph node metastasis. Results:Male gender, age<55 years, multifocal lesions, and lesion size ≥2 cm were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in CN0 patients（P<0.05）, while diabetes was an independent protective factor for lymph node metastasis（P<0.05）.Age<55 years, capsular invasion, and multifocal lesions were independent risk factors for the presence of ≥3 lymph nodes with metastasis （P<0.05）. Conclusion:In CN0 stage PTC patients, special attention should be given to the possibility of lymph node metastasis when they are male, aged <55 years, have multifocal lesions, or have lesion size >2 cm.
