Results: Five studies, totaling 3,489 cases, were included. Sensitivity and specificity for the “Atypical and higher risk categories...

... tool. The meta-analysis for sensitivity (SN) and specificity for each cut-off, that is, “atypical considered positive,” “suspicious of malignancy considered positive,” and “malignant considered positive” for the lesions, was carried out after excluding the inadequate samples in each study. To assess...
