Comprehensive analysis of quality and outcomes in thyroid surgery using Real-World clinical data
NCT ID NCT07812779
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026
Summary
THORS is a single-center ambidirectional observational cohort study conducted at Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center "Kommunarka". The study combines retrospective analysis of routinely collected clinical data from patients who underwent thyroid surgery beginning in January 2023 with ongoing prospective accrual of new eligible patients and longitudinal updating of follow-up information. No diagnostic or therapeutic intervention is assigned by the research protocol; all treatment decisions are made as part of routine clinical care. The program evaluates the structure and outcomes of thyroid surgery, postoperative complications, histopathology, repeat and completion procedures, long-term oncologic and functional outcomes, health-care resource use, and the quality and reproducibility of real-world data. Applicable outcomes from the international Core Outcome Set for surgical treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (COS-DTC) are incorporated where they can be reliably measured. The first frozen historical analytical baseline includes 968 unique patients and 1,017 thyroid operations performed from 06 January 2023 through 13 February 2026. The cohort remains open to ongoing enrollment and follow-up

Who is studied
Patients treated surgically for benign or malignant thyroid disease at a single multidisciplinary medical center in Moscow. The population is identified from routine clinical-care data and includes historical patients as well as newly accrued eligible patients. Primary, completion, and repeat thyroid operations are eligible when the relevant data can be linked and the episode meets the specific substudy requirements.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient undergoes or previously underwent an operation involving the thyroid gland at the study institution during the study period. * The operation was performed for a benign or malignant thyroid disease, including primary, completion, or repeat thyroid surgery. * Source data permit linkage of the patient, hospitalization, operation, and index date. * For a specific substudy, the participant/episode meets the additional prespecified requirements for the relevant exposure and outcome. Exclusion Criteria: \- Procedure predominantly involving the parathyroid glands without a confirmed relationship to thyroid disease. * Procedure or record without a confirmed relationship to thyroid disease. * Technical duplicate record. * Episode for which the essential temporal sequence or index date cannot be established for the relevant analysis. * Record lacking the minimum data required to determine the primary outcome of the specific substudy.
