OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have established the efficacy of post-thyroidectomy
hypocalcemia monitoring using parathyroid hormone (PTH) and corrected calcium levels at …

Background. The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients who undergo total
thyroidectomy will have postoperative hypocalcemia develop when they reach the critical 6 …

Objective To determine whether there is a correlation between the level of parathyroid
hormone (PTH) soon after thyroidectomy and the development of hypocalcemia. Study …

OBJECTIVES: A 1-hour post-thyroidectomy parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of≤ 8 ng/L is
predictive of patients who will develop hypocalcemia and guides early supplementation with …

Abstract A 24-to 48-hour in-hospital observation period to monitor for hypocalcemia is
common after total thyroidectomy. Because most thyroidectomy patients do not experience …

Importance Postoperative hypocalcemia is common after total thyroidectomy, and
perioperative monitoring of serum calcium levels is arguably the primary reason for …

Objective To determine if the intraoperative rapid parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay can be
used to accurately predict postoperative calcium levels following total or completion …

Postoperative hypocalcemia is a common complication of total thyroidectomy resulting from
manipulation, resection, or devascularization of the parathyroid glands. Parathyroid …

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of post-thyroidectomy parathyroid hormone (PTH)
levels in conjunction with corrected calcium values as predictors of patients at risk of …

Background Prior work by our group suggested that a single one hour post-thyroidectomy
parathyroid hormone (1 hr PTH) level could accurately stratify patients into high and low risk …
