Impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis conducted that evaluates the impact of SCH on outcomes after CABG. The preoperative assessment of thyroid function may be considered prior to cardiovascular procedures, particularly within CABG. However, future comprehensive studies, with individual participant-level data, are necessary in order to arrive at a valid conclusion and recommendation.PMID:38483792 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.24.12845-5
