Title: Predictive value of preoperative examination of malignancy of thyroid nodules
Abstract:Objective
To identify the risk factors that can predict the pathological diagnosis of thyroid nodules before operation, and to reduce the operation of benign nodules in all surgical nodules.

To identify the risk factors that can predict the pathological diagnosis of thyroid nodules before operation, and to reduce the operation of benign nodules in all surgical nodules.
Methods
All consecutive patients with thyroid nodules who underwent surgery and had pathological diagnosis in 2011 were identified. Univariate and logistic multivariate analysis were carried out to exam the risk of malignant thyroid nodules.
Results
The proportion of pathologically malignant nodules in all nodules was 22%. Univariate and logistic multivariate analysis revealed that singles, shape, calcification, echo texture, margin and vascularity were associated with malignancy.
Conclusions
The proportion of pathologically malignant nodules in surgical nodules is relatively low, some ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules, called risk factors, were significant in predicting pathological diagnosis. Rational use of these risk factors can predict pathological diagnosis more accurately and reduce the proportion of benign nodules in all surgical nodules.
