V600E mutation analysis results of 1 093 thyroid nodules that underwent surgery resection were analyzed. TI-RADS classification criteria was used to classify the nodules
and BSRTC was used to undergo cytological diagnosis of the nodules. The sensitivity
specificity
and area under curve (AUC) of the three methods were calculated and compared.
Results:
When applied individually
the sensitivity
negative predictive value
and accuracy of TI-RADS were the highest among the three methods
and they were 99.21%
84.00%
and 95.97%
respectively. BSRTC had the highest positive predictive value
Youden index
and the values were 99.22%
and 78.52%
respectively.
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis had the highest AUC (0.893). Both
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis and BSRTC had the highest specialty (91.93%). When applied in combination
the combination of BSRTC and
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis had thehighest specialty (84.62%)
positive predictive value (98.77%)
Youden index (79.60%)
accuracy (98.90%) and AUC (0.898). The highest sensitivity (99.61%)
and negative predictive value (91.11%) were achieved when all three methods were combined. For the Ⅰ
Ⅲ
and Ⅳ nodules
BSRTC combined with TI-RADS and/or
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis reduced misdiagnosis and improved diagnostic accuracy. For the Ⅰ
Ⅲ
and Ⅳ nodules
BSRTC combined with TI-RADS and
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis reduced misdiagnosis and improved diagnostic accuracy.
Conclusion:
BSRTC
TI-RADS
and
BRAF
V600E mutation analysis all have high value in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules
and the combination of three methods could improve diagnostic efficiency and reduce misdiagnosis.
