Background Comprehensive evaluation of the effect of surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and monitoring of patient’s well-being after treatment including assessment of patient-reported outcomes is worthwhile.AIMWe aimed to assess changes in quality of life (QoL) and symptoms in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic PHPT after surgery (parathyroidectomy, PTX).Materials and methods.Adult patients wit...

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a complex endoctinopathy that involves parathyroid glands which secreting too much parathyroid hormone and due to causes hypercalcemia effecting different organs and leading to significant quality of life (QoL) impairment. QoL assessment before and after surgery in patients with PHTP may be useful for comprehensive evaluation of the treatment effect, as well as for monitoring of the patient’ condition after surgery, including in real ...

Background: A parathyroidectomy (PTX) is the preferred standard treatment for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). the assessment of the surgery success from patient’s perspective is important to provide patient-centered care.Aim: We aimed to evaluate QoL changes in PHPT patients during 2-years follow-up after PTX and to identify preoperative predictors of meaningful QoL improvement after surgery.Materials and Met...
