In this retrospective study, risk scoring was performed in patients positive for pulmonary nodules and subsequently, PNs were sampled by invasive procedures for pathological examinations. The pathological classification was used as the gold standard, and statistical and machine learning methods showed, that in 210 patients (23 benign PN and 187 malignant PN), the risk score of Metabonomics, radiomics, and multi-omics had different levels of performance in different risk groups based on various predictive models.
