Malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules: comparisons of four ultrasound Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems in surgically resected nodules

To compare the efficiency of four different ultrasound (US) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TI-RADS) in malignancy risk stratification in surgically resected thyroid nodules (TNs). The study included 547 benign TNs and 464 malignant TNs. US images of the TNs were retrospectively reviewed...

Description
Summary:To compare the efficiency of four different ultrasound (US) Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TI-RADS) in malignancy risk stratification in surgically resected thyroid nodules (TNs). The study included 547 benign TNs and 464 malignant TNs. US images of the TNs were retrospectively reviewed and categorized according to the TI-RADSs published by Horvath E et al . (TI-RADS H), Park et al . (TI-RADS P), Kwak et al . (TI-RADS K) and Russ et al . (TI-RADS R). The diagnostic performances for the four TI-RADSs were then compared. At multivariate analysis, among the suspicious US features, marked hypoechogenicity was the most significant independent predictor for malignancy (OR: 15.344, 95% CI: 5.313-44.313) (P
