Their clinical and CT data were analyzed and compared to determine CT features for predicting absorbable PSNs.Results: Between absorbable and malignant PSNs, there were significant differences in patients’ age, lesions’ locations, shapes, homogeneity, borders, distance from the pleura, vacuoles, air bronchograms, lobulation, spiculation, halo sign, multiple concomitant nodules and pleural indentation (each P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that the independent predictors of absorbable PSNs were the following: patient age ≤ 55 years (OR, 2.660; 95% CI, 1.432– 4.942; P = 0.002), homogeneous density (OR, 2.487; 95% CI, 1.107– 5.590; P = 0.027), ill-defined border (OR, 5.445; 95% CI, 1.661– 17.846; P = 0.005), halo sign (OR, 3.135; 95% CI, 1.154– 8.513; P = 0.025), multiple concomitant nodules (OR, 8.700; 95% CI, 4.401– 17.197; P< 0.001), and abutting pleura (OR, 3.759; 95% CI, 1.407– 10.044; P = 0.008). The indicators for malignant PSNs were the following: lobulation (OR, 3.904; 95% CI, 1.956– 7.791; P< 0.001), spiculation (OR, 4.980; 95% CI, 2.202– 11.266, P< 0.001), and pleural indentation (OR, 4.514; 95% CI, 1.223– 16.666; P = 0.024).Conclusion: In patients younger than 55 years, PSNs with homogeneous density, ill-defined border, halo sign, multiple concomitant nodules, and abutting pleura should be highly suspected as absorbable ones.Keywords: solid nodule, absorbable nodule, follow-up, tomography, x-ray computedLin RYLv FJFu BJLi WJLiang ZRChu ZGDove Medical Pressarticlesolid noduleabsorbable nodulefollow-uptomographyx-ray computedPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
