Gender, FT4 levels, T stage, and BMI as predictors of TSH levels in thyroid cancer patients by Sen Zhang, Shuli Niu, Ling Zhou

“…The nomogram demonstrated moderate discrimination in estimating the risk of TSH suppression failure, with a Hosmer-Lemeshow test p-value of 0.393 and a bootstrapped calibrated C-index of 0.757 (95% CI 0.687-0.814). The calibration curve indicated good consistency of the model, and decision curve analysis suggested that the nomogram had clinical utility.ConclusionGender, preoperative serum free thyroxine (FT4) levels, T stage, and body mass index exhibit independent associations with the expected level of TSH. …”
