Objectives. The usefulness of core needle biopsy (CNB) for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules remains controversial, and preferences vary across hospitals. The purpose of this study was to assess the actual use of CNB in Korea and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of CNB through a systematic review and meta-analysis of papers published by Korean authors. Methods. A meta-analysis of full-text publications published in English presenting data from Korea retrieved from the Embase literature database was performed. Results. CNB led to a significantly lower proportion of non-diagnostic results than fine-needle aspiration (FNA). However, the frequency of atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) did not decrease as a result of performing CNB in nodules with initial AUS/FLUS results, while it increased in consecutive cases. A subcategory analysis of AUS/FLUS showed that the increased frequency of AUS/FLUS findings on CNB was due to more frequent diagnoses of architectural atypia and follicular neoplasm, which resulted in a higher frequency of inconclusive findings in consecutive cases compared to FNA. Hospitals favoring CNB had a higher proportion of AUS/FLUS diagnoses. Although the complication rate did not differ significantly between CNB and FNA, serious complications of CNB did occur. Conclusion. A reduced frequency of non-diagnostic results may be a definite advantage of CNB over FNA. However, the increased frequency of diagnoses of architectural atypia and follicular neoplasm should be considered when selecting CNB as a diagnostic tool.
