Preoperative imaging results, surgical pathology results, intraoperative PTH kinetics, and long-term outcomes were compared between the 2 groups. Long-term follow-up revealed parameters of patients with biochemical recurrence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi250025-8\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of 1202 patients in the study, 536 were included in the low-PTH cohort (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 61.7 [12.7] years; 430 [80.2%] female) and 666 in the high-PTH cohort (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 61.9 [13.6] years; 501 [75.2%] female), with a median (IQR) follow-up of 4.8 (8.8) years. Preoperative imaging localized more readily in the high-PTH cohort (559 patients [90.8%] vs 441 patients [83.4%]; odds ratio [OR], 1.94; 95% CI, 1.30-2.90). SGD was more likely among patients in the high-PTH group (594 [89.2%] vs 455 [84.9%]; OR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.05-2.06). Patients with high baseline PTH tended to have more optimal intraoperative PTH kinetics than those with low baseline PTH (intraoperative PTH decline, 70.1% vs 63.6%; difference, 6.5 percentage points; 95% CI, 1.5-11.2 percentage points). Postoperatively, a calcium level of 10.0 mg\/dL at 6 months was associated with recurrence (OR, 6.96; 95% CI, 3.24-14.94).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi250025-9\"><jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this cohort study, high baseline PTH levels were associated with improved preoperative image localization and presence of SGD. Furthermore, intraoperative PTH kinetics were more optimal in patients with high baseline PTH levels. Targeted surgical approaches must be considered carefully in patients with low baseline PTH levels. Patients with postoperative calcium of 10 mg\/dL at 6 months should warrant consideration of close follow-up, as these patients are more likely to have recalcitrant disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoto.2025.1346","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,24]],"date-time":"2025-07-24T15:31:01Z","timestamp":1753371061000},"page":"888","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Biochemical Profile of and Factors Associated With Recurrence in Primary Hyperparathyroidism"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"151","author":[{"given":"Ryan N.","family":"Hellums","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head & Neck Surgery, Geisinger Health System, Danville, Pennsylvania"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head & Neck Surgery, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Priscilla F.
