Predicting Risk Factors of Postoperative Hypocalcemia After Total Thyroidectomy
- Conditions
- Hypoparathyroidism
- Interventions
- Other: analysis of hypocalcemia
- Registration Number
- NCT04372225
- Lead Sponsor
- Aix Marseille Université
- Brief Summary
With increasing economic pressures to shorten the length of hospital stay, there has been much recent interest in studying risk factors for the development of postoperative hypocalcemia.
The aim of this study was to investigate in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy whether serum calcium and/or PTH levels can predict hypoparathyroidism.
- Detailed Description
Our study consists of analyzing the calcium (mmol/l) and PTH (pmol/l) levels on the first postoperative day. Postoperative treatment with calcium and vitamin D and the length of hospital stay is also taken into consideration.
We also analyze post-operative complications.

Group Intervention Description 477 patients analysis of hypocalcemia the biological tests of 477 patients undergoing total thyroidectomy were analyzed
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method calcium and PTH thresholds one years For all 477 patients postoperative calcium and PTH levels and treatment with calcium and vitamin D will be analyzed.
Objective is to identify the calcium and PTH thresholds at which the patient after total thyroidectomy can be discharged without risk of hypocalcemia.
