Defining the Characteristics of Chronic Hypoparathyroidism Not Adequately Controlled on Conventional Therapy: Consensus Findings of Three European Delphi Panels.

Introduction: European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) guidelines provide goals for hypoparathyroidism management but do not define characteristics of chronic hypoparathyroidism that is not adequately controlled. Three European country-specific Delphi panels were conducted to gain consensus on these characteristics.

Methods: Delphi panels were conducted in the UK, Sweden, and Portugal using similar methodology.
