Objective To investigate the correlation between serum triglyceride (TG) levels and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in patients undergoing thyroid nodule surgery. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted with the clinical data of 3340 patients with thyroid nodular disease [940 males (28.1%) and 2400 females (71.9%) with age of (44.5±11.4) years]who underwent thyroid nodule surgery and had complete operative blood lipid data in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2020. Based on the postoperative pathological condition, all the patients were divided into PTC group (2867 cases) and benign thyroid nodules group (473 cases). Analyze the general data of the two groups of patients using logistic regression to analyze the correlation between serum TG levels and the risk of PTC, and analyze the risk of PTC in age, gender, BMI, and thyroid autoantibody subgroups. Results Compared with benign nodules group, the serum TG levels of patients in PTC group were significantly higher [1.2(0.8, 1.7) vs. 1.1(0.8, 1.5), P<0.001]. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis revealed that serum TG levels were associated with an increased risk of PTC disease (adjusted OR=3.067, 95%CI 1.839-5.116, P<0.001). Triglyceride levels were categorized into quartiles, with the lowest quartile serving as a reference. The relative risk for the highest quartile of triglycerides in PTC patients was 2.142(95%CI 1.548-2.965, P<0.001), and this association persisted even when serum triglycerides were within the normal reference range (adjusted OR=3.244, 95%CI 1.440-7.307, P=0.005). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that serum TG were associated with an increased risk of PTC only in patients with negative thyroid autoantibodies and a BMI<28 kg/m2 (P<0.05). Moreover, the risk of PTC was more pronounced in patients under 45 years of age compared with those aged 45 years and older (P for interaction=0.043). Conclusion Elevated serum triglyceride levels were associated with an increased risk of PTC in patients with negative thyroid autoantibodies and BMI<28 kg/m2.
