[Outpatient quality of care for permanent postoperative hypoparathyroidism].

CONCLUSIONS: We found features of under-, as well as of over-treatment by general practitionors in patients with postoperative hypoparathyreoidism. From this we deduct target parameters for improvement of outpatient long-term care after thyreoidectomy: 1. Close follow-up, 2. Sufficient calcium and/or vitamin D medication in all patients with postoperative hypoparathyreoidism, 3. On-time termination of medication in patients with normal postoperative parathyroid hormone levels. PMID: 31137038 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
