PRESS -PAR: Early Detection and PREvention of Symptomatic postSurgical hypoPARathyroidism After Thyroid Surgery"
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Active vitamin D: Application if parathyroid hormone level falls below normal
Calcium: Administered if parathyroid hormone level falls below normal
Study summary
This study aims to investigate whether an earlier measurement of parathyroid hormone can reduce the number of patients who develop symptomatic hypoparathyroidism. This will provide evidence for a clear algorithm to address this issue after thyroid surgery. It will lead to an improvement in quality of life and a reduction in the distress experienced by affected patients. In addition, it is conceivable that patients' hospital stay could be shortened.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Symptomatic hypoparathyroidism (symptom score) with hypocalcemia — within hospital stay (0-48hours after bilateral thyroid surgery)
Symptomatic hypoparathyroidism is defined as the presence of one or more symptoms reported in the questionnaire.
