Background: Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury is a well-known, potentially serious complication of thyroid surgery. We investigated factors associated with RLN injury during thyroid surgery using a multi-institutional data set.Materials and methods: Patients who underwent either lobectomy or total thyroidectomy were abstracted from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program thyroidectomy-specific database (2016-2017). Baseline and operative factors associated with RLN injury = 65 y [odds ratio (OR) 1.6,95% confidence interval (CI) 1.3-2.0], total thyroidectomy (OR = 1.4,95% CI 1.1-1.6), and diagnosis of thyroid malignancy (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 1.6-2.7) (all P < 0.001) but not intraoperative RLN monitoring (OR = 0.9, 95% CI = 0.7-1.0, P = 0.06).Conclusions: In this large multi-institutional study, RLN injury
