Description
Summary:To explore the association between diabetes and outcomes in thyroidectomy patients. This retrospective cohort analysis used the 2015-2017 American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Program database. Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes were used to identify thyroidectomy cases (60210, 60212, 60220, 60225, 60240, 60252, 60254, 60260, 60270, and 60271). Demographics, comorbidities, and complication incidences were compared between diabetic and nondiabetic patients using Pearson's chi-square test/Fisher's exact test as appropriate. The independent effect of diabetes on outcomes was analyzed using binary logistic regression. A total of 47,776 (95.4%) nondiabetic and 2307 (4.6%) diabetic patients undergoing thyroidectomy were identified from 2015 to 2017. Chi-square analysis demonstrated that diabetic patients had higher incidences of obesity (55.2% vs. 33.2%; p
