Effect of a stylet on specimen sampling in thyroid fine needle aspiration: A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial

Effect of a stylet on specimen sampling in thyroid fine needle aspiration: A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial

BackgroundThere is a cost advantage in using a needle without stylet over a needle with stylet in thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA). This study aimed to elucidate the non-inferiority of thyroid FNA without a stylet (S-) to thyroid FNA with a stylet (S+) on specimen sampling.MethodsIn this study,...
