Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS)

English Background: A number of ultrasound risk stratification systems (RSSs) of thyroid nodule, often labeled as TIRADS (Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System), have been proposed. As a consequence, an increasing number of studies have been published on this topic. This systematic review was undertaken to answer specific questions in this field: how many articles and what type of studies have been published, which TIRADSs/RSSs have preferably been discussed, and what is the geographic distribution of the publications. Methods: The study was conducted according to PRISMA. A specific search algorithm was used. Defined selection criteria were applied. Results: 502 studies were finally included. The number of publications about TIRADSs/RSSs has increased over the time, being the Horvath TIRADS the most evaluated one. The first author of the article was from China in one fourth of cases. Conclusions: The number of scientific articles focused on TIRADSs/RSSs is high and it has been importantly increased over the time.
