Sahli ZT, et al. - Researchers sought to ascertain the clinical outcomes among older adults (age ≥65) undergoing thyroidectomy compared to younger adults (18-64) via performing population study over 10 years. Findings revealed worse outcomes for thyroidectomy among patients ≥80 years. The most common complications included neck swelling, hypocalcemia, and vocal cord paralysis. Patients ≥65, ≥70, and ≥80 years showed no difference in terms of hospital stay or patient charge. Since the effects of aging are variable, preoperative risk stratification seemed significant. Findings thereby suggest age ≥ 80 to be an independent predictor of worse clinical outcomes after thyroidectomy.
