Advancing the Understanding of Vitamin D Status in Post‐Thyroidectomy Hypocalcemia
International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021 Background. Post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Studies to examine the role of low vitamin D in increasing post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcemia incidence have produced varying results. This study aimed to assess whether vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of post‐thyroidectomy hypocalcemia. Methods.
