摘要: 目的 探讨美国放射学会甲状腺影像报告与数据系统(ACR-TIRADS)与中国甲状腺结节超声恶性危险分层(C-TIRADS)对桥本甲状腺炎背景下桥本结节和甲状腺乳头状癌的诊断价值。方法 回顾性分析2018年8月-2021年5月于河北北方学院附属第一医院行甲状腺超声检查并经手术病理证实的桥本甲状腺炎伴有结节或甲状腺乳头状癌患者141例(204个结节),对所有结节行超声检查,并且按照ACR-TIRADS和C-TIRADS的分类标准对204个结节进行评分分级,以手术病理结果 为金标准,构建ACR-TIRADS和C-TIRADS评估桥本结节和甲状腺乳头状癌性质的受试者工作特征曲线,分析和比较二者的诊断效能。结果 ① 超声特征结果显示桥本结节和甲状腺乳头状癌在分布位置、回声、钙化和边缘之间的差异有统计学意义(P < 0.001),二者在结构和纵横比上差异无统计学意义(P=0.141,P=0.240),桥本结节多表现为无局灶性强回声和高/等回声,甲状腺乳头状癌多表现为局灶性强回声和甲状腺外侵犯; ②C-TIRADS诊断桥本结节和甲状腺乳头状癌性质的敏感性和阴性预测值分别为91.7%和83.1%,均高于ACR-TIRADS,差异存在统计学意义(P=0.021,P=0.013);特异性和阳性预测值分别为98.3%和99.2%,均略高于ACR-TIRADS,差异无统计学意义(P=0.157,P=0.062)。ACR-TIRADS和C-TIRADS两种超声指南的曲线下面积分别为0.806和0.941,差异有统计学意义(P=0.031);③C-TIRADS超声指南不必要细针抽吸活检率为10.3%,低于ACR-TIRADS。结论 C-TIRADS对桥本甲状腺炎背景下的桥本结节和甲状腺乳头状癌的诊断具有较高的价值,有助于临床对此类结节的评估。Abstract: Objective To explore the diagnostic value of American Society of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System(ACR-TIRADS) and Chinese Thyroid Nodule Ultrasound Malignant Risk Stratification(C-TIRADS) in nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma with Hashimoto thyroiditis.Methods This retrospective analysis included 144 patients(204 thyroid nodules) accompanied by nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis or papillary thyroid carcinoma under the background of Hashimoto thyroiditis confirmed by surgical pathology examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from August 2018 to May 2021, all nodules were examined by ultrasound, and 204 nodules were scored and graded according to the classification standards of ACR-TIRADS and C-TIRADS. The surgical pathological results were the gold standard. The receiver operating characteristic curve of ACR-TIRADS and C-TIRADS was constructed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of the two guideline.Results ① Ultrasound feature results showed that nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis and Papillary thyroid carcinoma had statistically significant differences in the location, echogenicity, calcifications and margins(P < 0.001), but there is no significant difference in structure and aspect ratio between the two kinds of nodular(P=0.141, P=0.240); nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis were mostly absent focal echogenicity and hyperechogenicity, while papillary thyroid carcinoma was mostly manifested as focal echogenicity and extrinsic thyroid invasion. ②The sensitivity and negative predictive value of C-TIRADS were 91.7% and 83.1%, respectively, which were higher than those of ACR-TIRADS, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.021, P=0.013); The specificity and positive predictive value of C-TIRADS T were 98.3% and 99.2%, both of which were slightly higher than ACR-TIRADS, althought the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.157, P=0.062). The area under the curve of the ACR-TIRADS and C-TIRADS were 0.806 and 0.941, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.031). ③The unnecessary FNAB rate of C-TIRADS was 10.3%, which was lower than ACR-TIRADS.Conclusion C-TI-RADS has a better diagnostic value of nodular Hashimoto thyroiditis and thyroid papillary carcinoma under the background of Hashimoto thyroiditis, which is helpful for clinical evaluation of such nodules.
