Performance of Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy in a Low- and Middle-Income Country

Abstract

Bethesda categories II and IV have a relatively higher ROM in SA compared to findings from other developed countries. The diagnostic accuracy of thyroid FNAB in SA and the high rate of nondiagnostic diagnoses (38%) require further investigation. A national thyroid registry could provide location-specific data to aid the implementation of appropriate local policies and national guidelines for practicing thyroid surgeons.
