France477 participantsStarted 2020-04-25

Plain-language 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.
