Multivariate logistic regression analysis predicting DTC.

	Odds ratio (OR)	value
	(95% confidence interval)
Age (yr)	0.97 (0.96–0.98)	<0.001
Sex (male)	1.12 (0.75–1.67)	0.574
Solitary nodule	1.82 (1.27–2.59)	0.001
Size	0.78 (0.69–0.88)	<0.001
TSH	1.24 (1.12–1.37)	<0.001
TgAb ≥ 40 IU/mL	2.10 (1.40–3.15)	<0.001
TPOAb ≥ 50 IU/mL	1.20 (0.71–2.04)	0.499

Serum TgAb and serum TPOAb concentrations were analyzed as categorical variables.
Compared with TgAb <40 IU/mL group.
Compared with TPOAb <50 IU/mL group.
DTC: differentiated thyroid cancer.
