Systematic review and meta-analysis reveals FNAC's diagnostic accuracy in thyroid disease diagnosis, suggesting effective clinical application.

FNAC demonstrated a sensitivity of 85.6% and specificity of 71.4%, highlighting its diagnostic capability.
The systematic review included 22 studies, leading to robust evidence for FNAC's clinical usefulness in diagnosing thyroid diseases.
Data synthesis used fixed or random-effects models for accuracy evaluation, informing future FNAC research avenues.
The findings support FNAC's role as a cost-effective and minimized invasive diagnostic tool in thyroid pathology.

Alzahrani et al. (2025) studied this question.
