The investigators retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 760 patients with thyroid nodule biopsy and 88 patients who had thyroid surgery. The investigators evaluated patients' thyroid ultrasonography reports and determined Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System scores (TIRADS score: 1-Benign, 2- very low malignant) risk, 3-low risk, 4-medium risk, 5 -malignant high risk). The investigators evaluated patients 'existing thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) reports and recorded the patients' cytology results (benign, malignant). Documents of 88 patients who were included in the study and who underwent thyroidectomy were reviewed.Pathology reports of these patients were evaluated and surgical pathology was determined as benign in 58 patients and malignant in 30 patients. Then, a statistical study was performed between the cor needle biopsy (CNB) results of these participants and the surgical pathology and TI-RADS scores.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
4
Patients with thyroid nodules who underwent ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy with a 20 gauge core needle biopsy apparatus were included in the study.
Evaluation of the distribution of patients according to thyroid biopsy results.
Thyroid biopsy results (benign, malignant) will be compared with % of patients with these results. It will be analyzed statistically.
Time frame: 4-year results were included.
Examination of TIRADS score distribution according to thyroid biopsy results.
Thyroid biopsy results (benign, malignant) will be compared with the percentage of patients who fit the TIRADS score distribution (1-5). It will be analyzed statistically.
Time frame: 4-year results were included.
Evaluation of the compliance of TI-RADS scores with surgical pathology reports.
Surgical pathology results (benign, malignant) and TI-RADS scores (1 to 5) will be compared with% of patients matching the distribution (1-5). It will be analyzed statistically.
Time frame: 4-year results were included.
Evaluation of the distribution of thyroid biopsy results and surgical pathology results.
The % of patients who match the distribution of thyroid biopsy results (benign, malignant) and surgical pathology results (benign, malignant) will be compared. It will be analyzed statistically.
Time frame: 4-year results were included.
