Summary
This study looked at 300 patients who had their thyroid gland removed. Doctors measured their parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels right after surgery to see if a low level could predict dangerously low calcium (hypoparathyroidism). The goal was to find a cutoff value that reliably rules out this complication, helping doctors decide who needs extra monitoring or treatment.
