Does race impact outcomes after parathyroidectomy for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism? - 17/10/23
, Alexander M. Fagenson, Sunil S. Karhadkar, Lindsay E. Kuo Abstract |
Background |
Racial disparities in care exist for diseases with heterogeneous treatment guidelines. The impact of these disparities on outcomes after parathyroidectomy for secondary(2HPT) and tertiary hyperparathyroidism(3HPT) was explored.
Methods |
The 2015–2019 NSQIP datasets were used. Patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for 2HPT and 3HPT were identified and analyzed separately. Patients were stratified by race (white vs. non-white); demographics, comorbidities, and outcomes were compared. Studied outcomes included 30-day morbidity, mortality, unplanned reoperation, readmission, and postoperative length of stay(LOS).
Results |
There were 1,150 patients with 2HPT and 262 with 3HPT. For 2HPT, 65.5% were non-white; morbidity, reoperation, and prolonged LOS(>3days) occurred disproportionately more often in non-white patients. Non-white race was independently associated with morbidity; higher ASA class and alkaline phosphatase levels were associated with prolonged LOS. For 3HPT, 53.1% were non-white; a prolonged LOS(>1day) occurred disproportionately more often in non-white patients. Higher alkaline phosphatase levels were independently associated with prolonged LOS.
Conclusion |
Race and markers of advanced disease negatively impact outcomes after parathyroidectomy for 2HPT and 3HPT. Attention to racial disparities and earlier referral may positively impact outcomes.

Highlights |
• | Most patients with secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism are non-white. |
• | Non-white patients disproportionately experience morbidity, prolonged length of stay. |
• | Increased likelihood of morbidity for non-white patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. |
• | Higher alkaline phosphatase levels are associated with prolonged length of stay. |
