Vitamin D deficiency is significantly associated with higher rates of hypocalcemia after thyroid surgery, emphasizing its role in postoperative recovery.
Patients with vitamin D deficiency showed elevated preoperative TSH levels and lower free T3/T4 compared to those with sufficient levels.
The cohort involved 120 patients undergoing thyroidectomy for thyroid disease, providing robust evidence of vitamin D's impact on thyroid function.
Correcting vitamin D deficiency prior to surgery may enhance recovery and reduce complications in thyroid surgery patients.
