Abstract

Fine Needle Aspiration of Thyroid Nodules: Diagnostic Value and Analysis of Results in One center of North Eastern of Thailand.

Objective : to determine the predictive value of FNA in thyroid nodule Method: the study was analytic study by retrospective data collection. Thy subjects were the patients who have thyroid nodule underwent Fine Needle Aspiration biopsy between 1 January 2017 and 30 December 2018

Result : 95 patients were included. 92.6% were female. Average age was 49 years old. 50.5% were single thyroid nodule and average size was 3.5 cm in diameter. Result of FNA revealed 9.5% of malignancy. Sensitivity 64.29% specificity 100% accuracy 98.21% positive predictive value 100% bay negative predictive value 98.15%

Conclusion : The predictive value of FNA for thyroid nodule in Mahasarakham hospital is similar to the other hospitals. It is able to use as reference for management the cases of thyroid nodule in Mahasarakham hospital

Keywords : thyroid nodule, fine needle aspiration, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value
