Detailed Description
It is clinically difficult to diagnose and manage patients with multiple pulmonary nodules (MPNs). We have developed a web-based mathematic model (PKUM model) by using a multi-centric database from three institutions (Peking University People's Hospital, Haidian Section of Peking University Third Hospital, People's Hospital Affiliated to Hebei Medical University) to predict the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with MPNs. This prospectively observational study will recruit patients with MPNs between January 2019 and March 2019, allowing radiologists, surgeons, and a predictive model (PKUM model) to discriminate malignancy from benign nodules, and compare their sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Performance of PKUM model [3 months]
Area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of PKUM model in predicting the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Comparison between PKUM model and clinicians [3 months]
Comparison of sensitivity and specificity of radiologists, thoracic surgeons, and PKUM model in predicting the probability of a nodule to be malignant in patients with multiple pulmonary nodules.
- Performance of PKUM model in equivocal nodules which is difficult to judge by clinicians [3 months]
Sensitivity and specificity of PKUM model in predicting malignant probability of equivocal nodules judged by radiologists and thoracic surgeons.
