Regional variations in the management of primary hyperparathyroidism in Sweden: population-based case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Substantial disparities in the utilization of parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism have been reported. This study aimed to analyse regional variations in parathyroidectomy incidence with respect to the patient's disease burden and socioeconomic status.

Methods

A population-based case-control study included all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who underwent parathyroidectomy in Sweden between 2008 and 2017 and 10 matched controls. Data on demographic and socioeconomic variables, co-morbidities and drug prescriptions were collected from relevant national registers. Conditional logistic regression was used to analyse predictors of parathyroidectomy.

Results

A total of 8626 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (77% women) underwent pa
