The effects of patient and disease-related factors on the quality of life in patients with hypoparathyroidism.

While QOL is reduced in both post-surgical and non-surgical HypoPT groups, mental health seems to be less affected in non-surgical patients. Non-surgical patients might be tolerating hypocalcemia symptoms, lower calcium levels, and longer disease duration better than post-surgical ones. Having an additional disease affects the QOL negatively but having thyroid cancer may not change the QOL results of post-surgical patients.
