Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the types of thyroidectomy procedures and diagnosis, gender, age, clinical characteristics, and duration of stay in hospital in the patient population who underwent thyroidectomy in Turkey. In addition, it was aimed to determine the effect of demographic and clinical characteristics on the duration of hospital stay.Method: This research is a retrospective cross-sectional study. In the study, the demographic and clinical data of the patients who underwent thyroidectomy procedures during one year in Turkey were examined. Research data involves the data of the 25167 patients who underwent thyroidectomy procedures in the hospitals of the Ministry of Health in 2016. ICD-10-AM was used in grouping the diagnosis and procedures related to thyroidectomy cases. Descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T-test, Mann-Whitney U-Test, and Kruskal-Wallis test were used in the analysis of the data.Results: The most common surgical procedure performed in the patient group is total thyroidectomy. In the study group, the mean age was 49.62±12.917 years and the majority (81%) of patients were females. The average duration of hospital stay was 4.87±3.308 days.Conclusion: It was concluded that the duration of hospital stay was longer in patients who underwent a thyroidectomy procedure, in the male sex, those aged 50 years or over, those with a diagnosis of neoplasm, those with infection, hypertensive disease, and heart disease, those who underwent other surgical procedures in addition to thyroidectomy, and those who developed complications compared to other patient groups.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de tiroidektomi yapılan hasta popülasyonunda tiroidektomi işlem türleri ve tanıları, cinsiyet, yaş, klinik özellikler ve hastanede kalış sürelerini belirlemekti. Ayrıca demografik ve klinik özelliklerin hastanede kalış süresine etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı.Yöntem: Bu araştırma retrospektif kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada, Türkiye'de bir yıl içinde tiroidektomi işlemi uygulanan hastaların demografik ve klinik verileri incelendi. Araştırma verileri 2016 yılında Sağlık Bakanlığı'na bağlı hastanelerde tiroidektomi operasyonu geçiren 25167 hastanın verilerini içerdi. Tiroidektomi vakalarına ilişkin tanı ve işlemlerin gruplandırılmasında ICD-10-AM kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Bağımsız Örneklemler T-testi, Mann-Whitney U-Testi ve Kruskal-Wallis testi kullanıldı.Bulgular: Hasta grubunda en sık yapılan cerrahi işlem total tiroidektomiydi. Çalışma grubunda yaş ortalaması 49.62±12.917 yıl olup, hastaların çoğunluğu (%81) kadındı. Ortalama hastanede kalış süresi 4.87±3.308 gündü.Sonuç: Tiroidektomi operasyonu geçiren erkek cinsiyette, 50 yaş ve üzerinde, neoplazm tanısı olanlarda, enfeksiyonlularda, hipertansif hastalığı olanlarda, kalp hastalığı olanlarda, tiroidektomi dışında başka cerrahi işlemler geçirenlerde, komplikasyon gelişenlerde diğer hasta gruplarına göre hastanede kalış süresinin daha uzun olduğu sonucuna varıldı.
