Kirbas G, Ozkalkanli MY, Tuzen AS. The effect of preoperative TSH levels on perioperative complications in patients undergoing pituitary surgery. Eur J Med Res 2024; 29:259. [PMID: 38689357 PMCID: PMC11059711 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-024-01860-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pituitary surgery involves special conditions for the anaesthetist due to the anatomical localisation and the role of the pituitary gland in hormonal balance. The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the effect of TSH levels on perioperative complication rates in patients undergoing pituitary surgery. METHODS In this study, patients who underwent pituitary surgery at Izmir Katip Celebi University Ataturk Training and Research Hospital between January 2017 and November 2022 were retrospectively screened. Two patients out of the 137 were excluded from the study as they underwent simultaneous aneurysm surgery along with pituitary tumor surgery. A total of 135 patients meeting the criteria were analyzed. Patients were divided into three groups according to TSH levels. Perioperative complication rates and mortality rates were compared between the three groups. FINDINGS The study included a total of 135 patients, with an age range of 16-76 years. Among the groups with low-normal-high TSH levels, there were no statistically significant difference observed, in postoperative complications, such as epistaxis, rhinorrhea, postoperative nausea/vomiting, seizures, hypertension, and hypotension. When looking at the incidence of postoperative diabetes insipidus, a significant difference was found between the groups. When examining the mortality rates on the 28th day, a significant difference was found between the groups, with a mortality rate of 25% in the high TSH group (p < 0.5). CONCLUSIONS The risk of perioperative mortality is higher in patients with TSH levels above normal.

EFORT Open Rev 2023; 8:54-62. [PMID: 36805936 PMCID: PMC9969002 DOI: 10.1530/eor-22-0085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This comprehensive systematic review aims to assess the literature regarding the risk of postoperative complications in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA) with concomitant thyroid dysfunction. Methods Studies were identified by searching PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov (end of search: May 2022). Inclusion criteria Randomized control and case-control studies, cohort and observational clinical studies were included, which focused on postoperative complications and outcomes of patients undergoing TJA operations of major joints (knee, hip, ankle, elbow). All studies were assessed according to their level of evidence, the number and age of patients, and treatment complications. Analysis Nine studies were included in this review that demonstrated a higher risk of postoperative anemia, perioperative blood loss, hemoglobin decrease, and transfusion rates in hypothyroid patients after TJA. Results Hypothyroidism has been identified as a potential but modifiable risk factor for increased rates of deep venous thrombosis, acute kidney injury, pneumonia, and non-specified cardiac complications among hypothyroid patients who underwent TJA as well as increased rates of periprosthetic joint infection. No significant differences in the prosthesis-related mechanical complication rates have been calculated when comparing hypothyroid and euthyroid patients.

Negative Association of Subclinical Hypothyroidism on Improvement in Patient-Reported Outcomes After Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:864-868. [PMID: 35114322 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2022.01.073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to analyze the potential influence of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) on improvement in patient-reported outcome measures following primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS A prospective, comparative cohort study between 92 SCH and 90 euthyroid patients was performed. Patients were followed up to 5 postoperative years. Patient-reported outcome measure was assessed by the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index questionnaire. The Knee Society Scores were used for functional evaluation, and 5-point Likert scale for patient satisfaction. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale was also used. RESULTS All outcome scores significantly improved from preoperative to final follow-up in both groups (P = .001). There were no significant differences between groups in Knee Society Scores (P = .057) at the final follow-up, but Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index scores were significantly lower in the SCH group (P = .015). Likewise, the patient satisfaction rate was significant lower in the SCH group (0.010). CONCLUSION SCH patients have a slower functional recovery than euthyroid patients, and trended toward lower improvements in patient-reported scores. Depression was the most important negative factor. The findings of this study can provide the surgeon with an important information for better counseling the SCH patients.
