The clinical indexes of two groups were collected and the diagnostic scale of SAT was established by using binary logistic regression analysis.

After univariate analysis, variables which were considered statistically different(\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090. 05) between the two groups were selected as independent variables and the diagnosis of SAT was taken as dependent variable in the binary logistic regression model. The logistic regression model consisted of 4 variables, each was thyroid tenderness, firm on palpation, increased ESR and elevated thyroid hormone level.

The diagnostic scoring scale was established with these four variables according to their regression coefficient. The area under the ROC curve for this diagnostic scale was 0. 991(95% confidence interval, 0. 982\u20130.999). The highest Youden index was 0. 912, the corresponding cut-off point was 7.
