Key Points

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of opportunistic imaging in identifying clinically significant primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
Retrospective cohort analysis conducted over a 10-year follow-up period.
Utilized CT imaging to assess parathyroid glands for detecting adenomas.
Evaluated morbidity associated with undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism among individuals.
Identified patients with parathyroid adenomas through opportunistic imaging.
Reported increased morbidity associated with undiagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism over the follow-up period.
Demonstrated the potential of imaging in improving diagnosis rates for primary hyperparathyroidism.

Implication

Retrospective cohort study evaluates morbidity linked to primary hyperparathyroidism using imaging assessments over 10 years.

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is underdiagnosed. Opportunistic imaging-based parathyroid gland assessment is a proposed strategy for identifying patients at increased risk of undiagnosed PHPT. However, whether this approach is likely to identify individuals with clinically significant disease is unknown.
