摘要
Aim: Thyroid nodules are one of the most common clinical findings, with a prevalence of 68% in adults. Thyroid cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women. Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems proposed by the American College of Radiology (ACR-TIRADS) for the diagnosis of malignancy in surgically resected thyroid nodules. Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent thyroid nodules resected surgically from 2018-2020 were included. Before resection, an ultrasound was performed for TIRADS scores, and after resection histopathology, thyroid mass was obtained. The outcomes of the two systems were statistically compared. Results: The mean age of the 146 included patients was 47.6 ± 14.08 years, of which 109 (74.7%) were female. Based on TIRADS, 47 patients (32.2%) were in TI-RADS TR3, 36 patients (24.7%) were in TIRADS TR2, 34 (23.3%) in TIRADS 4, 24 (16.4%) in TIRADS TR5 and 5 patients (3.4%) were in TIRADS TR1. The overall sensitivity was 79.9% when ACR-TIRADS TR4 was set as a diagnostic cutoff value. Considering the total of TIRADS TR4 and TIRADS TR5 as predictors of thyroid malignancy, the sensitivity was 74.5% and the specificity was 76.8%. The positive and negative predictive value was 60.3% and 76.8%. Conclusion: ACR-TIRADS 4 and 5 can be considered good predictors of malignancy in thyroid nodules. More studies, including larger samples, are required to obtain a better conclusion. © 2024 The Author(s). Published by Bentham Science Publisher.
