""" S2_paper2_analysis.py ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Complete, reproducible analysis pipeline for: "Metabolic syndrome-like phenotype, BMI-based metabolic burden, and size-threshold thyroid nodules: a cross-sectional study of 50,023 health-examination attendees" (submitted to BMC Endocrine Disorders). This script reads the de-identified per-domain CSV exports, links each thyroid ultrasound to the nearest laboratory visit, derives the exposures and outcomes, and reproduces every model reported in the manuscript and its tables: Table 1 baseline characteristics by nodule status Table 2 included vs excluded participants Table 3 metabolic factors vs nodule outcomes (OR/PR) + BH correction Table 4 mutually adjusted five-component model + VIF Table 5 effect modification by age and sex (+ interaction tests) Table 6 sensitivity analyses (CDS, uric acid/hs-CRP, TPOAb, sex-specific HDL, age spline, +-30-day window, year adjustment, 2019+, MICE) Text exposure prevalences; direct nodule-size gradient; version- consistent (2018+) TI-RADS >=4 for all exposures; first-stage selection (ultrasound vs no ultrasound); TyG spline non-linearity; E-values. All estimators are in S1_stats_functions.py (NumPy only). Python 3.10, pandas.
