Diagnostic performance of C-TIRADS in malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chinese thyroid imaging reports and data systems (C-TIRADS) is a novel malignancy risk stratification used for thyroid nodule diagnosis and guiding thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA). In this review, we aim to assess the performance of C-TIRADS in malignancy risk stratification of thyroid nodules.

Methods

PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were searched until 1 April 2022. Original articles reporting data about C-TIRADS and setting FNA or histology as reference standards were included. C-TIRADS 4A, 4B, and 4C were set as thresholds, respectively, to obtain pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (LR+), negative likelihood ratio (LR-), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), and the area under the curve (AUC).
