All consecutive patients undergoing total thyroidectomy with or without central neck dissection between January 2005 and May 2021 were analyzed.

Postoperative hypocalcemia was diagnosed in 383 (51.6%) patients, which was transient in 296 (39.9%) and permanent in 87 (11.7%). The optimal cutoff value for predicting transient hypocalcemia was a decline of ioPTH level of \u2264\u200962.5% (overall efficacy 87%), but calcium supplementation may be indicated in high-risk cutoff values of \u2265\u200979.9%. In patients with an ioPTH decline\u2009\u2264\u200939%, the probability of postoperative hypocalcemia is extremely unlikely.
