The age, sex, serum thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), free three iodine thyroxine (fT3) and fT4/ fT3 ratio were subjected to univariate analysis, and the risk factors of malignant thyroid nodule were screened by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:Univariate analysis showed that age, TgAb, fT4 (P < 0.05) and fT4/ fT3 quotient (P < 0.01) were significantly different between the two groups. The fT4/fT3 quotient is a risk factor of malignant nodules. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk factors of malignant thyroid nodule were age (0R: 0.934,95% CI:0.911-0.957), TgAb(0R: 2.069,95% CI: 1.008-4.247) and fT4 (0R: 1.206,95% CI: 1.038-1.401).Conclusion: The fT4/fT3 quotient has important diagnostic value in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules. When fT4 / fT3 > 3, it increases the risk of malignancy. The age, TgAb and fT4 are independent risk factors for malignant thyroid nodule, which is of great value in distinguishing benign from malignant thyroid nodules.展开更多
