Risk factors for postoperative hypocalcemia

Updates in Surgery, 2017
Hypocalcaemia is one of the most common complications after thyroidectomy; however, it is still unclear what preoperative factors could predict this event. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of risk factors for hypocalcaemia after total thyroidectomy (TT).

Postoperative hypocalcemia—The difference a definition makes

Head & Neck, 2009
AbstractBackgroundReview of the literature reveals considerable variability in the definitions and criteria used for reporting postoperative hypocalcemia. The lack of standardization prevents a meaningful comparison of results and performance locally with the national standard. It also prevents the pooling of data when performing meta‐analysis, and may

Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Thyroidectomy for Graves' Disease

Thyroid, 2010
It is believed that patients who undergo thyroidectomy for Graves' disease are more likely to experience postoperative hypocalcemia than patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for other indications. However, no study has directly compared these two groups of patients.

Early postoperative calcium levels as predictors of hypocalcemia

The Laryngoscope, 1998
AbstractObjective: Early, safe postoperative hospital discharge has become a priority in the current environment of cost containment and managed care. One determinant for this following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands is a stable postoperative calcium level. This study sought to determine whether early postoperative calcium levels could

Loupe Magnification Reduces Postoperative Hypocalcemia after Total Thyroidectomy

The American Surgeon™, 2010
We aimed to evaluate the impact of loupe magnification (LM) on incidental parathyroid gland removal (from pathology reports), hypocalcemia, and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury after total thyroidectomy and answer the question of whether this tool should be always recommended for patient's safety.

Less Is More: Parathyroidectomy and Association with Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Dialysis Patients

Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 2023
BACKGROUND: Parathyroidectomy (PTx) is the most effective treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism. Literature regarding the effect of surgical approaches on postoperative hypocalcemia is limited and mainly focuses on postoperative calcium levels. This study aims to evaluate the association of subtotal PTx and total PTx with

Postoperative Parathyroid Hormone Level as a Predictor of Post-thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2003
To evaluate levels of parathyroid hormone following total thyroidectomy in order to ascertain its ability to predict postoperative hypocalcemia. To establish standardized criteria permitting the safe discharge of total thyroidectomy patients within 13 hours of surgery.This is a prospective study in which parathyroid hormone levels were tested in 54 ...

A novel index to predict postoperative hypocalcemia in primary hyperparathyroidism

Irish Journal of Medical Science (1971 -)
Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency is common in patients with hyperparathyroidism, but the importance of replacement before surgery is controversial. It can be predicted that hypocalcemia risk will be higher in patients with high bone turnover.In this study, the effect of preoperative ALP/Vit D ratio on postoperative hypocalcemia was investigated.Among the ...

Predictors of Early Postoperative Hypocalcemia in Hemodialysis Patients With Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Transplantation Proceedings, 2009
We sought to investigate predictors of early development of postoperative hypocalcemia in secondary hyperparathyroidism. Thirty-six hemodialysis patients (21 men, 15 women; mean age, 39.6 +/- 13.2 years; mean hemodialysis duration, 77.9 +/- 47.1 months) underwent parathyroidectomy.

Predictability of Hypocalcemia Using Early Postoperative Serum Calcium Levels

The Journal of Otolaryngology, 2001
In operations involving the thyroid or parathyroid glands, postoperative serum calcium levels are one contributing factor to patients' length of hospital stay. In this study, we wanted to determine whether early postoperative serum calcium levels could be used to predict hypocalcemia following operations of the thyroid or parathyroid glands.A ...
