However, UEx Angiopoietin-1 (aOR: 3.09, 95% CI: 0.99–9.60, p = 0.052) and UEx TIMP (5) (aOR: 2.24, 95% CI: 0.97–5.15, p = 0.058) have borderline significant positive effects on lymph node metastasis after adjusting for I-131 treatment (Yes/No) correction. Here, TIMP1 is linked to metastatic malignant neoplasm in the lymph nodes.
