Healthcare utilization by patients with primary hyperparathyroidism
Healthcare resource utilization, in terms of ED visits and urologic intervention, significantly decreased after parathyroidectomy. Sex showed no statistical difference in predicting healthcare utilization, while non-urologic ED visits remained the same after surgery. Expedited parathyroidectomy for PHPT patients may decrease urologic interventions and ED visits, resulting in less healthcare utilization.
