ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the preoperative
diagnostic value of modified systemic inflammation score
(mSIS) in predicting the presence of malignancy in patients with indeterminate
thyroid nodules. Matherials and Methods: It is a retrospective
study. 368 patients who underwent thyroid lobectomy were
screened. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to modified
SIS; mSIS 0 for those were Albumin (Alb) ≥ 4.0 gr/dL and Lymphocyte
Monocyte Ratio (LMR) ≥ 3.4 , mSIS 1 for those were Alb<4.0
gr/dL or LMR<3.4, mSIS 2 for those were Alb<4.0 gr/dL and
LMR<3.4. According to the results of the postoperative pathology, the
patients were divided into two groups as benign and malignant. Results:
The malignancy was found in 24 patients in histopathological
examination. 10 (41.7%) of these were micropapillary, 8 (33.3%) were
papillary and 6 (25%) were follicular carcinomas. There was no difference
between the malignant and benign groups in terms of LMR and
Albumin values. mSIS 0 had a 65% malignancy rate, mSIS 1 69.2%,
and mSIS 2 66.6%. There was no statistically significant difference between
the groups. Conclusion: MSIS may not be a predictor of malignancy
in indeterminate thyroid nodules. Further studies are needed to
understand this issue.

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı belirsiz tiroid nodülü olan hastalarda
malignite varlığını öngörmede modifiye sistemik inflamasyon
skorunun (mSIS) preoperatif tanısal değerini araştırmaktır. Gereç-Yöntem:
Retrospektif bir çalışmadır. Tiroid lobektomi yapılan 368 hasta
tarandı. Modifiye SIS'e göre hastalar 3 gruba ayrıldı; Albümin (Alb) ≥
4,0 gr/dL ve Lenfosit Monosit Oranı (LMR) ≥ 3,4 olanlar mSIS 0, Alb
<4,0 gr/dL veya LMR <3,4 olanlar mSIS 1, Alb <4,0 gr/dL ve
LMR<3.4 olanlar mSIS 2. Postoperatif patoloji sonuçlarına göre hastalar
benign ve malign olarak iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular: Histopatolojik
incelemede 24 hastada malignite saptandı. Bunların 10'u (%41,7)
mikropapiller, 8'i (%33,3) papiller ve 6'sı (%25) foliküler karsinomdu.
Malign ve benign gruplar arasında LMR ve Albümin değerleri açısından
fark yoktu. mSIS 0'da malignite oranı %65, mSIS 1'de %69,2 ve
mSIS 2'de %66,6 idi. Gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark
yoktu. Sonuç: MSIS, indetermine tiroid nodüllerinde malignitenin bir
göstergesi olmayabilir. Bu konuyu anlamak için daha ileri çalışmalara
ihtiyaç vardır.
