Abstract：
:The previous finding of an increased risk of premature death in a consecutive series of 896 patients operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism between 1953 and 1982 [1] raised the question of the role that surgery plays in relation to the risk of death. In the present study, undertaken to examine that issue, 3 factors--age, calendar year of surgery, and time passed after surgery--have been found to be significantly related to the risk of death (p less than 0.001), each factor contributing independently. A correlation was found between a late calendar year of surgery and a low degree of hyperparathyroidism as evaluated by serum calcium and creatinine levels. There was an increased risk of premature death in all age groups. The risk was less among patients operated on in later years. The observed normalization of the increased risk of death with time after surgery also took place sooner in patients operated on in later years. Our findings of improved survival following surgical intervention contrasts favorably with the findings of others in studies of subjects with untreated mild hyperparathyroidism. We have also found that preoperative serum calcium levels affect the risk of death, and that there is an additional factor related to the calendar year of surgery affecting the risk of death. Circumstantial evidence indicates that the duration of hyperparathyroidism contributes to this factor. Our results also show that early surgery decreases the risk of premature death in mild cases of the disease.
