Bone mineral density evolution and incidence of fractures in a cohort of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism treated with parathyroid surgery vs active surveillance during 6 years of follow-up

The need for parathyroidectomy to treat asymptomatic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of parathyroidectomy vs. surveillance on skeletal outcomes such as bone mineral density (BMD) and incident fractures. This was a retrospecti...

Zusammenfassung:The need for parathyroidectomy to treat asymptomatic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of parathyroidectomy vs. surveillance on skeletal outcomes such as bone mineral density (BMD) and incident fractures. This was a retrospective cohort study including 170 patients (112 treated with surgery and 58 subject to active surveillance) between 1991 and 2014. Changes in BMD in lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and radius, and incidence of fractures, were monitored for 2-6 years. Patients treated with surgery had BMD gains at 2years of 4.37%, as compared to 1.59% in non-operated patients (p
