Influence of common clinical variables on intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism

Intraoperative monitoring of parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) is a reliable method of predicting the cure of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The aim of this study is to assess whether common clinical variables (CCV) frequently encountered in patients with PHPT may affect the magnitude of PTH drop or the likelihood of patients meeting the intraoperative cure criterion. Patients who were surgically cured from PHPT caused by single gland disease...
