A risk prediction model for the onset of PTC based on inflammatory, nutritional and metabolic indicators was constructed using R4.3.3 software and externally validated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 1727 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid nodules were enrolled, among whom 1167 patients (67.6%) were pathologically-confirmed papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and 560 patients (32.4%) had benign thyroid nodules after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated combined Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis (HT) (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.887, 95%CI:\u00a01.174-3.031, P\u00a0=\u00a00.009), combined metabolic syndrome (MetS) (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.157, 95%CI:\u00a01.449-3.211, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001), and elevated uric acid (UA) (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.640, 95%CI:\u00a01.112-2.417, P\u00a0=\u00a00.013) were independent risk factors for PTC onset. Age\u00a0\u2265\u00a055\u00a0years (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.318, 95%CI:\u00a00.238-0.424, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001), other marital status (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.067, 95%CI:\u00a00.012-0.392, P\u00a0=\u00a00.003), and increased prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (OR\u00a0=\u00a00.934, 95%CI:\u00a00.902-0.966, P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a00.001) were independent protective factors against PTC onset. Based on the above independent risk factors, a nomogram for PTC was constructed. The AUC of the ROC curve in the modeling group was 0.702, and that in the external validation group was 0.721, indicating that the nomogram has good predictive performance. The calibration curve and decision analysis curve also indicate that the nomogram has good predictive performance and clinical application efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
