Prevalence of thyroid cancer according to antibodies.

Characteristics	Number of benign lesions (%)	Number of malignant lesions (%)	OR (95% CI)	value
TPOAb			1.30 (0.88–1.92)	0.187
Positivity	134 (76.1%)	42 (23.9%)
Negativity	630 (80.6%)	152 (19.4%)
TgAb			1.53 (1.04–2.24)	0.029
Positivity	130 (73.9%)	46 (26.1%)
Negativity	618 (79.8%)	143 (20.2%)

OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; TPOAb: thyroid peroxidase antibody; and TgAb: thyroglobulin antibody.
