Abstract

The pilot study was undertaken to evaluate the role of FNA cytology in the clinical management of patients with thyroid swelling, in a District General Hospital (DGH) setting. One hundred and eleven patients were investigated over a period of 3 years, with a total of 142 fine needle aspirations. Statistical analysis showed a sensitivity of 71%, a specificity of 91% and a false negative rate of 2.7%. These results compare very favourably with other institutions. This study therefore shows that thyroid nodule FNA cytology can be performed in a DGH with a high standard of diagnostic accuracy, the results of which play a key role in patient management.

摘要

这项试点研究旨在评估细针穿刺抽吸活检（FNA）细胞学检查在地区综合医院（DGH）环境下对甲状腺肿大患者临床管理中的作用。在3年时间里对111名患者进行了调查，共进行了142次细针穿刺抽吸。统计分析显示敏感性为71%，特异性为91%，假阴性率为2.7%。这些结果与其他机构相比非常有利。因此，本研究表明，甲状腺结节FNA细胞学检查可以在DGH中以高标准的诊断准确性进行，其结果在患者管理中起着关键作用。
