Study on the Effects of Hypoparathyroidism on Post-thyroidectomy Health-related Quality of Life (QoL-hPTP)

Spain40 participantsStarted 2020-10-01

Plain-language summary

Our study will evaluate the health related quality of life (HRQoL) after a thyroidectomy and the relevance of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. The patients submitted to a total thyroidectomy will be evaluated with three questionaries (SF-36, Hospital HADS and a specifically designed Likert-type questionary about the intensity of hypoparathyroidism symptoms). The first evaluation will be before the surgery, and the other two will be completed a week and a month after the procedure.
