The purpose of this study is to characterize changes in quality of life in patients who had undergone parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism due to end-stage renal disease, based on data extracted from an established database
Data were retrospectively collected from an established database of patients who underwent surgery for renal secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). Extracted information included demographic and clinical characteristics (age, gender, education level, clinical symptoms), baseline quality of life assessed by the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and completed follow-up assessments of SF-36 scores, depression, and anxiety at one, three, six months, and one year postoperatively.

Study the progression of quality of life
Quality of life scores change with respect to time
Quality of life was assessed using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) scale. Completed responses for each of the 36 items were extracted from the database. Item responses were aggregated to calculate scores for each of the eight dimensions. Scores for each dimension range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status
Time frame: up to 1 year
Anxiety and depression score change with respect to time
Anxiety and depression were evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Completed responses for the 14-item HADS, comprising 7 items each for the anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) subscales, were extracted from the database. Item scores range from 0 to 3, and were summed to yield separate scores for anxiety and depression
Time frame: up to 1 year
Bone pain scores change with respect to time
Bone pain was evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Completed NRS scores, ranging from 0 to 10, were extracted from the database. In this scale, 0 represents no pain, 1-3 represents mild pain, 4-6 represents moderate pain, 7-9 represents severe pain, and 10 represents the worst pain
Time frame: up to 1 year
Length of hospital stay
Time frame: an average of 1 week
