Diagnostic Performance of Adrenal Gland Cytology following the World Health Organization Standardized Categories: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
High sensitivity and specificity, as well as ROM values across categories, demonstrate that the proposed WHO cytological categories offer reliable risk stratification for adrenal lesions, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions. The low heterogeneity and minimal publication bias ensure that the findings are applicable across various clinical settings and patient populations.
