Narrative:

Aircraft was pushed back and started via normal procedures. All appropriate checklists were accomplished. There was a delay in obtaining takeoff data due to a change in desired engine anti-ice configuration triggering errors. Prior to aircraft taxi the captain had me visually clear my side of the aircraft. I could not see any ground personnel or equipment; and gave him a clear indication for my side. We obtained clearance from ground control and taxied to the assigned runway.I was recently made aware that the ground crew had not disconnected when we taxied. Obviously; there was a breakdown in communication that resulted in a very unsafe and disturbing situation. Fortunately no personnel were injured.
