Our aim was to determine the accuracy of lymph node yield (LNY) for pediatric patients undergoing thyroidectomy with concurrent lymph nodes harvest for clinically node-negative (cN papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Patients aged ≤ 18years with cN0 PTC undergoing thyroidectomy were reviewed in the NCDB, 1998-2016. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with ≥ 1 LNY were compared to those without. A truncated beta-binomial distribution estimated the number of lymph nodes needed to detect pathologic nodal positivity, and
