Abstract:
:In cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma, a less aggressive cancer, surgeons may hesitate to perform total thyroidectomy on patients with poor general condition because these may experience longer survival without undergoing surgery. To investigate the influence of general patient condition on the patients' survival who received total thyroidectomy, we utilized the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS). We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing total thyroidectomy under general anesthesia and graded by ASA-PS between 2004 and 2014. Patients with anaplastic carcinoma and metastatic thyroid renal cell carcinoma were excluded. There were 77 (30%), 149 (58%), and 30 (12%) ASA-PS 1, 2, and 3 cases, respectively. Patient age increased significantly with increasing ASA-PS score (median age of 53, 64, and 71 years for ASA-PS 1, 2, and 3). Hospitalization periods extended significantly for patients with ASA-PS 3. Twenty patients died during the study (3.89 median years). Five-year overall survival rates were 100%, 93%, and 79% for ASA-PS 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Patients in the ASA-PS 1 group had significantly better prognosis by log-rank test. Univariate analysis showed an increased risk of death as ASA-PS score increased (hazard ratio: 3.03, 95% confidence interval: 1.55-5.92, p=0.00). In multivariate analysis, including patient age and presence of malignancy, patient age was the only significant predictor of overall survival (hazard ratio: 1.09 by year, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.14, p=0.00). We concluded that a high ASA-PS score should not inhibit performance of total thyroidectomy if a patient's age is suitable for the surgery.
