A Ten-Year Cohort Study of Clinical and Surgical Predictors for Hypocalcemia Post-Thyroidectomy
In Brief
An observational study for Thyroid Nodule and 4 related conditions. Currently recruiting, targeting 600 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This retrospective cohort study investigates predictors of postoperative hypocalcemia following thyroidectomy procedures at Minia University Hospital over a 10-year period (2014-2024). Postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia is one of the most common complications of thyroid surgery, affecting 20-50% of patients. The study aims to identify demographic, clinical, laboratory, and surgical factors associated with the development of both transient and permanent hypocalcemia. Results will inform risk stratification, patient counseling, and perioperative management strategies.
