A prospective screen for hypercalcaemia in 58,053 hospital in-patients was conducted over 12 months. The incidence of hypercalcaemia was 0.6%, being transient in 19.2% of patients and sustained in the remainder. The most common causes in the sustained group were malignancy (45%) and primary hyperparathyroidism (16.5%). The incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism was 78/100,000 hospital in-patients, and its discovery was directly attributable to the survey in over half the cases.
在12个月内，对58053名住院患者进行了高钙血症的前瞻性筛查。高钙血症的发生率为0.6%，其中19.2%的患者为短暂性高钙血症，其余患者为持续性高钙血症。持续性高钙血症组最常见的病因是恶性肿瘤（45%）和原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进（16.5%）。原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进的发生率为每100000名住院患者中有78例，在超过半数的病例中，其发现直接归因于此次调查。
