目的

比较美国放射学会(ACR)甲状腺影像报告和数据系统(TI-RADS)与中国甲状腺影像报告和数据系统(C-TIRADS)评分和分类系统对甲状腺微小结节的诊断价值。

方法

选取2021年1月至2022年10月经手术病理证实的甲状腺微小(最大径≤10 mm)结节患者1213例,共1599个结节,分别根据ACR TI-RADS和C-TIRADS对甲状腺结节的超声特征进行评估,以手术病理为金标准,构建受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线,确定ACR TI-RADS和C-TIRADS评分和分类系统诊断甲状腺微小结节良恶性的最佳临界值,大于临界值归为恶性,低于临界值归为良性,并分析ACR TI-RADS和C-TIRADS评分和分类系统对甲状腺微小结节的诊断效能,并采用DeLong检验比较二者诊断效能的差异。

结果

恶性结节的ACR TI-RADS和C-TIRADS评分和分类均高于良性结节(P<0.05)。ACR TI-RADS与C-TIRADS评分和分类系统的曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.702、0.658、0.710、0.686,DeLong检验结果显示评分系统的AUC均大于分类系统(Z=3.768、2.370,P=0.0002、0.0178)。Youden指数最大时,ACR TI-RADS评分和分类系统对应的敏感度、特异度、阳性预测值、阴性预测值一致,分别为89.66%、41.70%、89.93%、59.00%,C-TIRADS评分和分类系统敏感度、特异度、阳性预测值、阴性预测值一致,分别为88.71%、44.26%、90.23%、59.69%,2种系统各诊断效能指标之间的差异均无统计学意义(P均>0.05)。

结论

ACR TI-RADS和C-TIRADS评分系统对甲状腺微小结节的诊断效能要高于分类系统的诊断效能,但诊断效能均偏低,这在一定程度上降低了甲状腺微小结节的良恶性诊断准确率。

Objective

To compare the diagnostic value of the American College of Radiology thyroid imaging reporting and data system (ACR TI-RADS) and Chinese thyroid imaging reporting and data system (C-TIRADS) in thyroid micronodules.

Methods

A total of 1213 patients with 1599 thyroid micronodules confirmed by surgical pathology were enrolled. According to the ACR TI-RADS and C-TIRADS, thyroid micronodules were evaluated and scored. Using surgical pathology as the golden standard, a ROC curve was constructed to determine the optimal cut-off value. Nodules with scores above the cutoff were classified as malignant, while those below as benign. The diagnostic efficacy of ACR TI-RADS and C-TIRADS systems for thyroid microcarcinomas was then analyzed and compared by DeLong test.

Results

Both ACR TI-RADS and C-TIRADS scores and classifications of malignant nodules were higher than those of benign nodules (P<0.05), with AUC values being 0.702, 0.658, 0.710, and 0.686, respectively. The DeLong test shows the AUC values of the scoring systems were greater than those of the classification systems (Z=3.768 and 2.370, respectively, P=0.0002 and 0.0178, respectively). When the Youden index was the largest, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the ACR TI-RADS system were 89.66%, 41.70%, 89.93%, and 59.00%, respectively; and the corresponding values of the C-TIRADS system were 88.71%, 44.26%, 90.23%, and 59.69%, with no statistically significant differences between the two systems (χ2=0.642, 0.313, 0.070, and 0.025, respectively, P=0.423, 0.576, 0.791, and 0.875, respectively).

Conclusion

Although the ACR TI-RADS and C-TIRADS scoring systems demonstrate superior diagnostic efficacy compared to their classification counterparts, their overall performance remains suboptimal, which may compromise the diagnostic accuracy for thyroid nodules to some extent.
