M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
224 participants
Nov 26, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
To compare same-day discharge and overnight (or longer) observation practices and learn more about the differences in patient preferences, safety outcomes, and economic and resource impact
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Patients ≥18 years of age
- Patients undergoing initial partial or complete thyroid lobectomy
- English and non-English speaking patients are eligible
Exclusion Criteria5
- Increased risk of bleeding (e.g., Aspirin, antiplatelet therapy, or anticoagulation that cannot be held 5 days before surgery, baseline thrombocytopenia <50,000/µL)
- Pre-existing medical comorbidities or poor performance status (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status >2) that would otherwise dictate overnight in-hospital postoperative observation
- Increased distance of residence from index hospital (>50 miles) or inability to stay within the targeted area (<50 miles) postoperatively prohibiting timely return to the index hospital in emergent situations
- Lives alone or unable to independently perform Activities of Daily Living and no available caregiver in the immediate postoperative period (POD 0-3)

Interventions
Participants will be asked to complete a survey 3 times (before surgery, after surgery, and 2 weeks after surgery). You will be monitored for up to 1 month after your surgery, where you may be contacted by a study provider virtually or in person to ask you about medication usage and heath care needs.
After surgery, Participants will complete the same survey as in the pre-surgery visit about 1 day and then 2 weeks after surgery. These surveys will be completed electronically through the MyChart system. They will take about 5-10 minutes to complete and must be done within 24 hours after receiving the survey. Participants will be monitored for 1 month after your surgery, including your standard-of-care postoperative visit at about 2 weeks. You may be contacted by a provider for a phone or in person visit at the 1-month time point to ask how you are doing.
