Independent risk factors for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer defined by multivariable logistic regression analysis.

Characteristics	Adjusted odds ratio	95% confidence interval	value
Male sex	1.14	0.75–1.74	0.531
Age	0.98	0.96–0.99	<0.001
TSH ≥ 1.59 mIU/L	2.13	1.48–3.07	<0.001
TPOAb positivity	0.92	0.54–1.57	0.76
TgAb positivity	1.53	0.91–2.56	0.11

TSH: thyroid-stimulating hormone; TPOAb: thyroid peroxidase antibody; and TgAb: thyroglobulin antibody.
