Vitamin D Pretreatment to Prevent the Risk of Postoperative Hypocalcemic Complications After Parathyroidectomy in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Key Points
The aim is to assess the impact of vitamin D pretreatment on postoperative hypocalcemia complications following parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies
Evaluated the safety and effectiveness of preoperative vitamin D administration
Focused on postoperative outcomes related to hypocalcemia
Preoperative vitamin D was found to be safe for patients
There is potential for reduced hypocalcemia-related complications
Current evidence supporting these findings is of low quality
Abstract
Preoperative vitamin D appears safe and may reduce hypocalcemia-related complications after parathyroidectomy, though current evidence is of low quality.
