Calcium and vitamin D reduce hypoparathyroidism and hospital stay after thyroidectomy: A randomized controlled trial

Key Points

• Hypoparathyroidism is reduced through calcium and vitamin D supplementation after thyroidectomy, leading to shorter hospital stays.
• Patients receiving calcium and vitamin D showed a significant decrease in hypoparathyroidism rates compared to those who did not.
• Randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of calcium and vitamin D on recovery after thyroid surgery provided clear evidence of benefits.
• Improves hospital stay duration and recovery processes, indicating the potential for better post-operative care strategies.
