Key result
Postoperative systolic blood pressure was an independent risk factor for postoperative haemorrhage, increasing the risk by 39% for every 10-point rise (OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.09-1.8).
Why the study?
Does postoperative systolic blood pressure predict postoperative haematoma in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Case-Control (n=621)
No
Does postoperative systolic blood pressure predict postoperative haematoma in patients undergoing thyroid surgery?
Odds Ratio: 1.39 (95% CI 1.09–1.8)
Postoperative hypertension is significantly related to the development of early postoperative haematoma following thyroid surgery.

Postoperative SBP monitoring may stratify hematoma risk after thyroidectomy; hypothesis-generating for BP-targeted trials before practice change.
Morton et al. (2015) conducted a case-control in Thyroid surgery (n=621). Postoperative systolic blood pressure was evaluated on Post-operative Haematoma formation that required re-exploration of the wound (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.09-1.8). Postoperative systolic blood pressure was an independent risk factor for postoperative haemorrhage, increasing the risk by 39% for every 10-point rise (OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.09-1.8).
