Although numerous population‑level risk factors for DTC mortality have been identified, they have not been integrated into a tool for individualized prediction. This study developed a nomogram to estimate 10‑year cause‑specific mortality using a historical SEER cohort of 9,654 patients diagnosed between 1985 and 1995. Multivariable Cox regression identified age, gender, extracapsular extension, tumor size, nodal involvement, distant metastasis, and histology as significant predictors. The resulting nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.93) and calibration. This tool provides the first individualized prognostic model for DTC and may improve clinical decision‑making and research stratification. 000000564 540__ $$fCC BY 000000564 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000564 650__ $$aThyroid Neoplasms$$027071 000000564 650__ $$aMortality$$022435 000000564 650__ $$aNomograms$$036205 000000564 650__ $$aClinical Decision-Making$$011067 000000564 650__ $$aRisk Assessment$$030914 000000564 650__ $$aSEER Program$$030790 000000564 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000564 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000000564 7001_ $$aPark, Renee$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000564 7201_ $$aGross, Neil$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000000564 8564_ $$952f75e15-2229-457f-a366-43b708c8cd6d$$s1479805$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/564/files/565_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$20fa178209e2694c3b3adc1aafea9dd12$$31 000000564 905__ $$a/rest/prod/gx/41/mh/88/gx41mh887 000000564 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:564$$pstudent-work 000000564 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000564 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
