The Significance of Nontoxic Thyroid Nodules: Final Report of a 15-Year Study of the Incidence of Thyroid Malignancy
Abstract
In a total population of 5,127 persons, 218 were found to have nontoxic thyroid nodules, representing 4.2% of the sample—6.4% in females and 1.5% in males. These lesions were followed for a period of approximately 15 years, and none showed evidence of malignancy at the end of that time. During the 15-year period of observation, 67 new lesions were detected in persons previously found to be free of thyroid disease. This represented a 15-year incidence rate of 1.4%, 1.7% in females and 0.9% in males. None of these newly detected lesions showed evidence of malignancy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
