Machine learning-Based Classification of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Versus Multinodular Goiter Using Preoperative Laboratory and Cytology Data

Thyroid nodules are frequently encountered in clinical practice, with their detection increasing due to advancements in imaging modalities. While most nodules are benign, distinguishing papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) from benign entities such as multinodular goiter (MNG) remains a diagnostic challenge. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and sonography are standard tools, but their limitations highlig...

How do clinician and parent reported data differ? An analysis of similarity and difference in the datasets from a cross-syndrome genetics cohort study(GenROC)

Parent/patient-reported datasets provide ready access to phenotypic data for monogenic neurodevelopmental disorders yet their concordance with clinical data is unclear. In the GenROC study 547 children (mean age 7.6y, balanced sex ratio) had parallel parent-reported(PRD) web questionnaires and clinician-reported (CRD) Human Phenotype Ontology(HPO) proformas. We compared the two sources per partici...
