Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the performance of a model based on Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (C-TIRADS), clinical characteristics, and other ultrasound characteristics for the prediction of Bethesda III/IV thyroid nodules before fine needle aspiration (FNA).

Materials and methods: A total of 855 thyroid nodules from 810 patients were included. All nodules underwent ultrasound examination before FNA. All nodules were categorized according to the C-TIRADS criteria and classified into two groups, Bethesda III/IV and non-III/IV thyroid nodules, using cytologic diagnosis as the gold standard. The clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics of the nodules in the two groups were compared, and independent predictors of Bethesda III/IV nodules were determined by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, based on which a prediction model was constructed. The predictive efficacy of the model was compared with that of C-TIRADS alone by sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC).

Results: Our study found that the C-TIRADS category, homogeneous echotexture, blood flow signal present, and posterior echo unchanged were independent predictors for Bethesda III/IV thyroid nodules. Based on multiple logistic regression, a predictive model was established: Logit (p)= - 4.213 + 0.965 × homogeneous echotexture+ 1.050 × blood flow signal present + 0.473 × posterior echo unchanged+ 2.859 × C-TIRADS 3 + 2.804 × C-TIRADS 4A + 1.824 × C-TIRADS 4B + 0.919 × C-TIRADS 4C. The AUC of the model among all nodules was 0.746 (95%CI: 0.710-0.782), 0.779 (95%CI: 0.730-0.829) among nodules with a diameter (D) > 10mm, and 0.718 (95%CI: 0.667-0.769) among nodules with D ≤ 10mm, which were significantly higher than that of the C-TIRADS alone.

Conclusion: We developed a predictive model for Bethesda III/IV thyroid nodules that is better for nodules with D > 10mm FNA operators can choose the optimal puncture strategy based on the prediction results to improve the rate of definitive diagnosis of the first FNA of Bethesda III/IV nodules and thus reduce repeat FNA.

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series. In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology. Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
