SUMMARY

Purpose: To compare the ultrasound results of thyroid nodules in the application of EU-TIRADS, K-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS systems with post-operative histological results. To compare diagnostic values of the three TIRADS systems.

Material and methods: This is a cross-sectional study with convenient sampling. We recruited thyroid nodules that were performed pre-operative ultrasound (applied EU-TIRADS, K-TIRADS, ACRTIRADS systems) and removal surgery in Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital between September 2019 and July 2020.

Results: 138 thyroid nodules of 122 patients were enrolled. The malignancy rate was 22.5%. The majority of the lesions were classified as EU-TIRADS 3 (47.8%), K-TIRADS 3 (47.8%) và ACR-TIRADS 2 (38.4%.). The AUC of the EU-TIRADS, K-TIRADS và ACR-TIRADS systems were 0.957, 0.951 and 0.956, respectively. Among the three systems, EU-TIRADS had the highest sensitivity (Se) and negative predictive value (NPV) (100%) while its specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV) and accuracy (Acc) for malignancy were lowest. K-TIRADS showed the best Sp, PPV and Ac (97.2%; 89.7% and 94.2%, respectively) and the lowest other values.

Conclusion: The ability to distinguish between the malignant thyroid nodules and the benign ones of the three TIRADS systems was at a very good level. EU-TIRADS showed the most effective diagnostic performance in Se and NPV, while K-TIRADS yielded the best Sp, PPV and Acc.

Key words: thyroid nodules, diagnostic values, EU-TIRADS, K-TIRADS, ACR-TIRADS.
