Refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism in waiting list for parathyroidectomy: who we should operate first in a quaternary hospital in Brazil regarding survival.

Therefore, optimizing priority criteria for PTX may result in improved survival in this population. PMID: 30942649 [PubMed - in process]
