Point of Care Measurement of Body Mass Index and Thyroid Nodule Malignancy Risk Assessment

Point of Care Measurement of Body Mass Index and Thyroid Nodule Malignancy Risk Assessment

Background: Large scale epidemiology studies have suggested obesity may increase the risk of thyroid cancer, though no prospective analyses using real-world measurement of BMI at a time proximate to initial thyroid nodule evaluation have been performed. Methods: We performed a prospective, cohort an...
