Objective To explore the influencing factors of cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with papil-lary thyroid carcinoma(PTC).Method A total of 80 patients with PTC were selected,all of whom underwent rou-tine ultrasound,contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound elastography examinations.According to the pathological findings,the patients were divided into cervical lymph node metastasis group(n=34)and non-cervical lymph node me-tastasis group(n=46).Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC patients.Result Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in gender,microcalcification,contrast-enhanced ultrasound enhancement degree,average elastic modulus and elastic score between cervical lymph node metastasis group and non-cervical lymph node metastasis group(P＜0.05).Multi-variate Logistic regression analysis showed that male,microcalcification,height enhancement of contrast-enhanced ul-trasound,and high elasticity score were risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC patients(P＜0.05).Con-clusion Male,microcalcification,height enhancement of contrast-enhanced ultrasound,and high elasticity score are risk factors for cervical lymph node metastasis in PTC patients.Clinicians should identify these factors and intervene early.
