Abstract
Patients with normal baseline intraoperative parathyroid hormone have a high incidence of multigland disease (58.8%), greater than reported previously. Current software modeling and the 50% decline algorithm are insufficient to predict cure in this population; intraoperative parathyroid hormone interpretation combined with operative findings and surgical judgment yield optimal outcomes.
