Diagnostic Performance of ACR and Kwak TI-RADS for Benign and Malignant Thyroid Nodules: An Update Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

This meta-analysis determined the optimal cut-off value for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules in two risk stratification systems (ACR and Kwak TI-RADS) and compared their diagnostic performance. Both systems showed good diagnostic performance. TR4 and 4B were estimated as optimal cut-off values for ACR and Kwak TI-RADS, respectively, but the cut-off values can be adjusted in consideration of changes in sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract

(1) Background: To determine the optimal cut-off values of two risk stratification systems to discriminate malignant thyroid nodules and to compare the diagnostic performance; (2) Methods: True and false positive and negative data were collected, and methodological quality was assessed for forty-six stu
