Aspirin Increases the Risk of Nondiagnostic Yield of Fine-Needle Aspiration and Biopsy of Thyroid Nodules

Conclusions: This is the first study to demonstrate a 3-fold independently greater risk of a nondiagnostic FNAB cytology in patients taking aspirin. Our results highlight the importance of evaluating the need for continuation of aspirin in patients undergoing thyroid FNAB as this may impact the diagnostic yield of the procedure.Eur Thyroid J
