Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Thyroid nodule volume reduction rate: It is created by dividing the difference between the pre- and post-thyroid nodule volume by the pre-thyroid nodule volume multiplied by 100. Timepoint: The volume of the thyroid nodule or lymph node is examined first and 3 and 6 months after the procedure. Method of measurement: The size of the thyroid nodule or lymph node is determined by ultrasonography of the thyroid or neck. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Minor and major complications resulting from ultrasound-guided radio frequency ablation procedure. Timepoint: Beginning of study, 3 and 6 months after the procedure. Method of measurement: History, physical examination, thyroid and neck ultrasound, and thyroid function test. | — |
