Official Title: Mortality Benefit of Ultrasound for Incidental Thyroid Nodules Identified With PET Imaging: A Non-Inferiority Emulated Target Trial
Brief Summary:
The investigators hypothesize that all-cause mortality in patients with an incidental thyroid nodule on PET-CT who did not have thyroid ultrasound (the exposure) within 3 months of the PET-CT is non-inferior within a 5% margin to those who have thyroid ultrasound at 7-years. That is, among patients with an incidental thyroid nodule on PET-CT, mortality is no more than 5% larger (in absolute difference) for those who do not have thyroid ultrasound compared to those who do. The investigators will also report…
