| Abstract |
Objectives: (1) The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytology (TBSRTC) in accurate prediction of thyroid lesions on fine needle aspiration (FNA). (2) To appraise the surgeon with guidelines for adequacy of samples, and interpretation of FNA reports with TBSRTC and hence aiding them in surgical decision making. Five hundred and sixty four FNAs were done on patients with thyroid swellings in the department of Pathology and reported using TBSRTC guidelines. In cases where surgery was done, histopathological report was correlated. Using TBSRTC the commonest cytological diagnosis was benign-Hashimotos thyroiditis followed by benign follicular nodule. TBSTRC reduces inter-observer variability in reporting thyroid FNAs and provides good communication between the surgeon and pathologist. It also implicates guidelines for cancer risk and clinical management to the surgeons, thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 February 2023.
All research outputs
#7,710,624
of 23,975,976 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
#93
of 744 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#42,910
of 126,345 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
#3
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,975,976 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 744 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 86% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 126,345 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 6 of them.
