Predictive value of ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis for contralateral central lymph node metastasis in patients with thyroid cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Abstract

Careful consideration of prophylactic central compartment dissection is required to ensure that its benefits outweigh its risks in the thyroid cancer. Sixteen prospective or retrospective studies were included. True positive, true negative, false positive, and false negative were extracted from each study. The diagnostic odds ratio of ipsilateral central lymph node metastasis (iCLNM) for predicting contralateral central lymph node metastasis (cCLNM) was 12.9237 (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.1595–20.4695). The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.854. The sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value were 0.8925 [0.8232–0.9368], 0.6884 [0.6311–0.7404], and 0.9802 [0.9631–0.9894], respectively. There were strong correlations between cCLNM and clinicopathologic characteristics. Ipsilateral central lymph node pathology is useful for predicting contralateral central compartment invasion in patients with thyroid cancer. In addition, c linicopathologic characteristics were associated with cCLNM in patients with unilateral thyroid cancer.
