Abstract
Introduction/Background To compare GI-RADS and O-RADS reporting systems for managing adnexal masses.
Methodology Single center prospective study comprising a non-consecutive series of women diagnosing as having an adnexal mass evaluated and treated at our institution between January 2019 and December 2020. All women underwent transvaginal/transabdominal ultrasound examination. Pregnant women and girls under 18 years were not included. Adnexal masses were classified using GI-RADS system (based on subjective impression of the examiner). Management (follow-up, surgery by general gynecologist, MRI as second step technique or referral to Gynecologic oncologist) was based on this system. Additionally, O-RADS classification based on ADNEX model malignancy risk estimation (not using CA-125) was estimated. Diagnostic performance of both systems (considering GI-RADS or O-RADS 4 and 5 as malignant) were assessed and compared. Reference standard was or follow-up (masses with > 12 months and no signs of malignancy were considered as benign)
Results One hundred and ninety-eight women (240 masses) were included in the study. GI-RADS classifications of the masses were as follows: GI-RADS-2: 20, GI-RADS 3: 178, GI-RADS-4: 25 and GI-RADS- 5: 17. According to O-RADS, masses had been classified as follows: O-RADS-2: 28, O-RADS 3: 173, O- RADS-4: 25 and O-RADS-5: 14. 136 masses were managed conservatively and 104 were removed surgically. No mass on follow-up turned to be an ovarian cancer. Reference standard was benign in 217 masses and malignant in 23 masses. Diagnostic performance of both systems is shown in table.
Diagnostic performance of GI-RADS and O-RADS
Conclusion GI-RADS or O-RADS systems perform similarly for managing adnexal masses
