Their HR-QOL was gauged using the University of Washington Quality of Life questionnaire (UW-QOL) and the City of Hope Quality of Life-Thyroid Version questionnaire (QOL-TV) both prior to surgery and at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, and 5 years postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Out of 185 patients, 150 (81.1%) were female, with an average age of 48.7 \u00b1 12.9 years. For both UW-QOL and QOL-TV, the total composite QOL scores notably declined from preoperative levels to 3 months postoperatively, then gradually improved over 5 years, ultimately exceeding preoperative scores. Factors such as total thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, and postoperative hypoparathyroidism were associated with lower physical composite QOL scores. Patients who underwent remote-access thyroidectomy expressed significantly higher satisfaction with appearance compared with those who had conventional thyroidectomy. Mood and anxiety were major clinical concerns both before and after surgery, showing considerable improvement postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n For DTC patients, HR-QOL experienced a significant drop 3 months postsurgery, subsequently showing gradual improvement, surpassing preoperative QOL by 5 years. Factors contributing to improved physical QOL included the utilization of remote-access thyroidectomy, less extensive thyroidectomy, and the absence of RAI ablation and hypoparathyroidism.<\/jats:p>\n
