    Thirteen retrospective studies on prediction models for structural recurrence in papillary thyroid carcinoma were included in the review.

  • 2

    All included studies were conducted in East Asian populations and reported acceptable discrimination performance with AUC values exceeding 0.70.

  • 3

    High overall risk of bias was identified in all studies, primarily due to limitations in analysis, sample size justification, and validation methods.

  • 4

    Only two studies performed external validation, highlighting a significant gap in the robustness of current prediction models.

  • 5

    The review emphasizes the need for standardized recurrence definitions and improved reporting transparency for future studies.
