Values are expressed as mean±SD, number (%), or median (interquartile range). Pearson chi-square tests were done in categorical variables. Student t test for normal variables and Mann-Whitney U test for nonnormal variables were done in continuous variables.
PTC, papillary thyroid cancer; FTC, follicular thyroid cancer; TgAb, anti-thyroglobulin antibody; 1st sTg, stimulated thyroglobulin at the first radioactive iodine treatment; RAI, radioactive iodine.
OR, odds ratio; 2nd WBS, secondly performed whole body scan; TgAb, anti-thyroglobulin antibody; SA, star artifact; 1st sTg, stimulated thyroglobulin level at the first radioactive iodine treatment; CI, confidence interval.
aLower thyroglobulin (Tg) means Tg levels are same or lower than the indicated cut-off levels of 1st sTg; bHigher Tg means Tg levels are higher than the indicated cut-off levels of 1st sTg.
