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...
