Thyroid Fine-Needle Aspiration Adequacy Factors for 484 Procedures

A prospective procedural registry of 484 thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) procedures for 249 nodules in 234 patients, each performed under ultrasound guidance. The dataset records patient demographics, nodule characteristics, procedural details, cytology adequacy, and final Bethesda classification or histopathology. It was authored by Ramy Mohamed and last updated on 2026-04 14.

Use Cases

• Predicting cytology adequacy based on nodule characteristics like size and TI-RADS score
• Analyzing the impact of procedural details such as needle gauge and number of passes on sample quality
• Modeling the relationship between patient demographics and final Bethesda classification or histopathology outcomes

Strengths

• Contains 484 thyroid FNA procedures with linked patient, nodule, and procedural data.
• Includes final diagnostic outcomes (Bethesda classification or histopathology) for model validation.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
