    A nomogram was developed to predict lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma using clinicopathological and hematological variables.

  • 2

    The study included 484 patients, with model performance assessed through ROC curve analysis, achieving AUC indices of 0.8045 and 0.8146.

  • 3

    Emotional distress, measured by the PHQ-9, was incorporated into the nomogram to evaluate its impact on lymph node metastasis risk.

  • 4

    The nomogram aims to improve clinical decision-making by providing a comprehensive preoperative assessment tool for lymph node metastasis.

  • 5

    This research addresses gaps in existing predictive models by integrating psychological factors and routine hematological parameters.
