چکیده
Methods We evaluated 153 patients (28males) diagnosed younger than 20 years old, managed during 1980 through 2013 (median 7.0 years of duration). Good or poor outcome (persistence or recurrence) was analyzed in 126 patients followed for at least 12 months. Predictors for recurrence were analyzed among 108 pediatric PTC patients. Adult PTC patients (n = 3093) were finally included in Cox proportional hazards models to find predictors for recur-free survival among PTC patients of all ages.
