The study assesses quality of life (QoL) in patients who underwent thyroidectomy compared to the general population. QoL data from post-thyroidectomy patients and individuals with no subjective health concerns, who had attended a routine health screening visit, were evaluated. QoL was assessed using the modified version of Korean Short Form 12 questionnaire (SF-12). Patients and controls were matched using the propensity score approach and a ratio of 1:4. Data from a total of 105 patients and 420 controls were analyzed. For five SF-12 items, lower QoL was found in patients ( < 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that a follow-up duration of <1-year, female sex, and an age of >50 years were independent risk factors. No significant difference was found between controls and patients who were >1-year post-surgery. For specific SF-12 items, QoL was lower in post-thyroidectomy patients than in controls. No intergroup difference in QoL was found >1-year post-surgery.
本研究评估了接受甲状腺切除术的患者与普通人群相比的生活质量（QoL）。对甲状腺切除术后患者以及参加常规健康筛查且无主观健康问题的个体的生活质量数据进行了评估。使用韩国简短健康调查问卷（SF - 12）的修订版评估生活质量。采用倾向评分法以1:4的比例对患者和对照组进行匹配。共分析了105例患者和420例对照的数据。在SF - 12的五个项目中，患者的生活质量较低（<0.05）。多变量分析显示，随访时间<1年、女性以及年龄>50岁是独立危险因素。术后>1年的对照组和患者之间未发现显著差异。对于特定的SF - 12项目，甲状腺切除术后患者的生活质量低于对照组。术后>1年未发现组间生活质量差异。
