摘要:
目的 分析血小板计数(PLT)、中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、血小板/淋巴细胞比值(PLR)、甲状腺功能相关指标与分化型甲状腺癌(DTC)合并颈部淋巴结转移的关系,为优化DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移患者的诊疗策略提供参考。 方法 选取2020年1月—2024年1月蚌埠医科大学第一附属医院收治的221例DTC患者,依据是否合并颈部淋巴结转移分为发生组(78例)和未发生组(143例)。比较2组PLR、NLR、PLR、甲状腺功能相关指标差异。采用多因素logistic回归分析研究DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移的影响因素。绘制ROC曲线,评估各独立危险因素单独及联合应用对DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移的预测效能。 结果 发生组临床分期Ⅱ期占比、PLT、NLR、PLR、促甲状腺激素(TSH)、甲状腺球蛋白(Tg)均高于未发生组(P < 0.05)。二元logistic回归分析显示,临床分期、PLT、NLR、PLR、TSH、Tg均是DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移的独立影响因素(P < 0.05)。建立DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移的列线图风险预测模型,ROC分析显示,临床分期、PLT、NLR、PLR、TSH、Tg、列线图风险预测模型的曲线下面积分别为0.573、0.720、0.613、0.738、0.751、0.718、0.898。 结论 临床分期Ⅱ期及PLT、NLR、PLR、TSH、Tg升高为DTC合并颈部淋巴结转移的独立危险因素,基于此构建的列线图预测模型具有高预测效能与临床实用性。 -

Abstract:Objective To analyze the relationship between platelet count (PLT), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), thyroid function related indicators, and cervical lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), and to provide a reference for optimizing the diagnosis and treatment strategy of DTC patients. Methods A total of 221 DTC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University between January 2020 and January 2024 were enrolled. According to the presence or absence of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM), the patients were divided into a metastasis group (n = 78) and a non-metastasis group (n = 143). Differences in PLT, NLR, PLR, and thyroid function-related indicators were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for DTC with cervical lymph node metastasis. ROC curves were plotted to evaluate the predictive performance of each independent risk factor individually and in combination for DTC with cervical lymph node metastasis. Results The proportion of patients in clinical stage Ⅱ, as well as the levels of PLT, NLR, PLR, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroglobulin (Tg), were higher in the metastasis group than in the non-metastasis group (P < 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that clinical stage, PLT, NLR, PLR, TSH, and Tg were independent risk factors for DTC with cervical lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). A nomogram risk prediction model for DTC with cervical lymph node metastasis was established. ROC analysis showed that the areas under the curve (AUC) for clinical stage, PLT, NLR, PLR, TSH, Tg, and the nomogram prediction model were 0.573, 0.720, 0.613, 0.738, 0.751, 0.718, and 0.898, respectively. Conclusion Clinical stage Ⅱ and elevated PLT, NLR, PLR, TSH, and Tg are independent risk factors for DTC with cervical lymph node metastasis. The nomogram prediction model constructed based on these factors demonstrates high predictive performance and clinical utility. -
