We hypothesize that intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) measurement after a total thyroidectomy predicts children at risk for hypoparathyroidism and allow for outpatient procedure.
Between 2015 and 2019, we reviewed all patients under the age of 21 undergoing a thyroidectomy (total or lobectomy). Based on the ioPTH concentration, the patients were treated by the following protocol: a) PTH ≥20 pg/mL: no treatment; b) PTH = 10-19 pg/mL: 1000 mg calcium orally TID; c) PTH = 5-9 pg/mL: calcitriol 250 μg orally BID plus 1000 mg calcium orally TID; or d) PTH <5 pg/mL calcitriol 500 μg orally BID plus 1000 mg calcium orally TID.
Fifty-two patients were included with a median age of 16 (range 6-21 years). Thirty-two patients (62%) had normal PTH (≥10 pg/mL) while 20 (38%) had low PTH levels (<10 pg/mL). Of those patients with low PTH, 60% had normalization of levels within 2 weeks of surgery.
Thyroid surgery in children can be performed as an outpatient procedure. The ioPTH measurements and a protocol to treat patients with low PTH assists in safe discharge.
我们假设,全甲状腺切除术后的甲状旁腺激素(ioPTH)测量可预测甲状旁腺功能减退症风险较高的儿童,并允许进行门诊手术。
在 2015 年至 2019 年间,我们回顾了所有年龄在 21 岁以下接受甲状腺切除术(全甲状腺切除术或甲状腺叶切除术)的患者。根据 ioPTH 浓度,患者采用以下方案进行治疗:a)PTH≥20 pg/mL:无需治疗;b)PTH=10-19 pg/mL:口服 1000 mg 钙,每日 3 次;c)PTH=5-9 pg/mL:口服骨化三醇 250μg,每日 2 次,加口服 1000mg 钙,每日 3 次;或 d)PTH<5 pg/mL:口服骨化三醇 500μg,每日 2 次,加口服 1000mg 钙,每日 3 次。
共纳入 52 例患者,中位年龄为 16 岁(范围 6-21 岁)。32 例(62%)患者 PTH 正常(≥10 pg/mL),20 例(38%)患者 PTH 水平较低(<10 pg/mL)。在 PTH 水平较低的患者中,60%的患者在术后 2 周内恢复正常水平。
儿童甲状腺手术可作为门诊手术进行。ioPTH 测量和治疗低 PTH 患者的方案有助于安全出院。
