Clinical-radiological predictive model in differential diagnosis of small (≤ 20 mm) solitary pulmonary nodules.

Background: There is a lack of clinical-radiological predictive models for the small (≤ 20 mm) solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). We aim to establish a clinical-radiological predictive model for differentiating malignant and benign small SPNs.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2013 and December 2018, a retrospective cohort of 250 patients with small SPNs was used to construct the predictive model.
