FLORES SAAVEDRA, Sthephany y NOGALES GRAGEDA, Lineth Beatriz. Precision of the PAAF in the Histopathological report of thyroid surgery. Gac Med Bol [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.1, pp.33-38. Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1012-2966. https://doi.org/10.47993/gmb.v46i1.628.
Objective:
to evaluate the precision of the different cut-off points of the BAAF Bethesda score in comparison with the histopathological study for the diagnosis of thyroid pathology.
Methods:
quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, analytical study for the evaluation of diagnostic tests. It included 293 patients with thyroid disease suggestive of cancer, who attended the General Surgery Service of Hospital Obrero No. 2 of the National Health Fund, during the period 2019-2022. Non-randomized convenience sampling was performed that included all available patients.
Results:
the correlation between the two variables studied was confirmed, that is, between the Bethesda score and the histopathological study report, with a confidence interval (CI) of 95%.
Conclusions:
it is demonstrated that the BAAF has high specificity in the diagnosis of thyroid cancer with Bethesda reports V and VI, on the contrary, minor Bethesda reports II, III, and IV, rule out the diagnosis.
