The nodule detection rate was 18.8%, with a 22.5% risk of malignancy among the detected nodules in childhood-onset HT patients, showing increased risk in those with a family history. Additional large-scale studies are required to evaluate the usefulness of K-TIRADS or ACR-TI-RADS risk level for the differentiation of paediatric thyroid nodules.
