Univariate analysis of clinicopathological parameters of 213 papillary thyroid carcinomas
| Parameters | χ2 Value | p Value |
|---|---|---|
| Univariate analyses were performed using the Kaplan–Meier method, and the χ2 and p values were obtained using the log rank (Mantel-Cox) test (*p<0.05, significant). | ||
| Age (⩽60 v >60 years) | 7.691 | 0.0055* |
| Sex (male v female) | 6.319 | 0.0119* |
| Diameter (⩽4 v >4 cm) | 21.479 | <0.0001* |
| Multiplicity (multiple v single) | 0.258 | 0.6113 |
| Extrathyroid invasion (absent v present) | 17.032 | 0.0002* |
| Growth pattern (expansive v invasive) | 8.621 | 0.0033* |
| Surgical cut margin (negative v positive) | 3.142 | 0.0763 |
| Cellular polarity (retained v lost) | 8.407 | 0.0036* |
| Cellular dissociation (absent v present) | 7.704 | 0.0055* |
