Risk Factors for Hypoparathyroidism Following Thyroidectomy
A Prospective Study to Assess Risk Factors for Hypoparathyroidism Following Thyroidectomy
Tartu University Hospital
300 participants

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this observational study is to identify the risk factors for post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism in Estonia and to determine whether the magnesium level plays a significant role in the development of hypoparathyroidism. The main questions it aims to answer are: * How common is post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism in Estonia? * What are the most significant risk factors for the development of post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism in Estonia? * Are magnesium levels a risk factor for the development of hypoparathyroidism? Participants will be asked to answer a questionnaire about risk factors. The study collects data on risk factors for hypoparathyroidism following thyroid surgery, including patient questionnaires and comorbidities, pre- and postoperative laboratory tests and surgery-related risk factors.
