Background And Objective: The reported incidence of persistent hypoparathyroidism varies widely, and consensus on a definition is lacking. The objective was to evaluate the real-life incidence of persistent hypoparathyroidism by investigating a new pragmatic definition.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter cohort study evaluated the effect of different definitions for persistent hypoparathyroidism on the incidence of hypoparathyroidism. In addition, risk factors for hypoparathyroidism were analyzed.
Results: In total, 749 patients were included. Using the new pragmatic definition, we report an incidence of 7.9% of persistent hypoparathyroidism. When applying other commonly used definitions, incidence varied between 11.8% and 22.1%. Risk factors were parathyroid autotransplantation, presence of another surgical complication, and low postoperative serum calcium.
Conclusions: Our data show that the incidence of persistent hypoparathyroidism in the literature may vary through the use of different definitions. This study indicates that a new pragmatic definition of persistent hypoparathyroidism has the potential to enable unbiased comparison between studies.

Calcium Homeostasis in the human body is regulated by hormones, including parathyroid hormone and vitamin D3. Dysfunction in the form of hypoparathyroidism causes hypocalcaemia. In patients treated for primary hypoparathyroidism with activated vitamin D replacement, iatrogenic hypercalcaemia can occur.

Unlabelled: Thyroid follicular nodular disease (non-toxic multinodular goiter), the commonest thyroid disorder, can be managed with different surgical methods, including total thyroidectomy (TT), near-total thyroidectomy (NTT), subtotal thyroidectomy (STT), and Dunhill operation (DO). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide an update on the role of TT versus NTT, STT, or DO in MNG concerning goiter recurrence, thyroid cancer incidence, and reported complications. We conducted a systematic literature search in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL.

This study presents the cases of two women who developed severe permanent hypoparathyroidism after neck surgery for papillary thyroid cancer and underwent parathyroid allotransplantation. Despite taking high doses of calcium and calcitriol supplements, the patients experienced persistent hypocalcemic symptoms. Fresh parathyroid tissue was removed and prepared from two patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to end-stage kidney disease and was implanted in the non-dominant forearm of the recipients.
