Cumulative incidence and Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate factors associated with readmission.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 49,892 thyroidectomy patients, 572 (1.15%) required readmission for hypoparathyroidism. Median time to first readmission for hypoparathyroidism was 6\u00a0days, with 59.5% of readmissions occurring within 1\u00a0month. The 2\u2010year cumulative incidence was higher for younger patients (age 18\u201340: 1.54% and 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34%\u20131.75%). In multivariable analysis, several factors were significantly associated with readmission for hypoparathyroidism including: female sex (hazard Ratio [HR] 1.56 and CI: 1.24\u20131.96), Hispanic (HR 1.54 and CI: 1.26\u20131.88) or Asian ethnicity (HR 1.48 and CI: 1.17\u20131.86), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (1: HR 1.26 and CI: 1.02\u20131.56; &gt; 1: HR 1.39 and CI: 1.03\u20131.89), having &gt; 4 lymph nodes (LN) removed (HR 1.88 and CI: 1.59\u20132.23), and patients &lt; 65 years old with Medicaid\/public insurance (HR 1.39 and CI: 1.09\u20131.76). Being in the highest SES neighborhood was associated with a decreased risk of readmission for hypoparathyroidism when compared to the lowest SES neighborhoods (HR 0.67 and CI: 0.49\u20130.92).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most readmissions for hypoparathyroidism occur soon after surgery for thyroid cancer.
