Comparison of iPTH and calcium levels between total thyroidectomy and lobectomy: a prospective study of 840 thyroid cancers with three years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypocalcemia is the most frequent complication after thyroidectomy and central neck dissection (CND). Early intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) determination has been proposed as an early predictor parathyroid gland state. We aim to describe iPTH kinetics after central compartment lymph node dissection (CLND).

Methods

A large prospective observational study was conducted among 840 patients who underwent thyroid cancer surgery between July and December 2016 in China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. Data were obtained from the patient's iPTH evaluation 15 min after CND and serum calcium records during three years of post-operative follow-up. Age, sex, BMI, preoperative PTH, operative and pathologic details were analyzed. Backward stepwise logistic regression
