Comprehensive Study of Thyroid Fine Needle Aspiration in Pediatric and Young Adults
The ROM for thyroid nodules in the pediatric population is higher than in adults. There appears to be a trend toward a higher overall malignancy rate in patients aged 15-21 compared to those under 15, though this difference is not statistically significant. Further studies with larger patient numbers are required to determine if the ROM differs significantly between these age groups.
