Adult patients who underwent elective thyroidectomy from 2005 to 2019 were divided into two cohorts based on whether they received BT or not.

Risk factors for BT included underweight body mass index (BMI) (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.179, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.444\u20136.996), bleeding disorders (OR 2.121, 95% CI 1.149\u20133.913), anemia (OR 4.730, 95% CI 3.472\u20136.445), preoperative transfusion (OR 7.230, 95% CI 1.454\u201335.946), American Society of Anesthesiology physical statuses 3\u20135 (OR 3.103, 95% CI 2.143\u20134.492), operative time &gt;150\u2009min (OR 4.390, 95% CI 1.996\u20139.654), and inpatient thyroidectomy (OR 5.791, 95% CI 3.816\u20138.787).
