Core Tip This prospective study demonstrated that preoperative anxiety is not merely a psychological state but also a clinically meaningful predictor of postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing thyroidectomy. Higher anxiety levels were associated with significantly greater postoperative pain, poorer short-term recovery quality, increased risk of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, greater neck muscle stiffness, worse scar healing, and longer hospital stays, while oncological outcomes were unaffected. These findings highlight the necessity of incorporating routine psychological screening and targeted perioperative anxiety management into thyroid surgery care pathways to improve patient-centered outcomes, enhance recovery efficiency, and reduce the burden of complications.
