Extent of Surgical Resection and Predictors of Outcomes in MEN1-related Hyperparathyroidism: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis

Authors' conclusion

Conservative surgery reduces hypoparathyroidism but increases recurrence. Personalized surgical strategies are essential in MEN1-related PHPT.

Study context

Population
Adult MEN1-related primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients undergoing parathyroidectomy
Participants
915 patients13 studies
Comparison
Less-than-subtotal vs subtotal vs total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation in MEN1-related PHPT
Outcome
Recurrence and permanent hypoparathyroidism
Methodological detailsrandom-effects models, meta-regression, PRISMA, MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase.com, LILACS and CENTRAL searched from inception to April 2025, Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality

As reported in the abstract

Recurrence
Relative risk (95% CI)
<STPTvs STPThigher recurrence with <STPT
1.26(1.16–1.36)
<STPTvs PTXhigher recurrence with <STPT
1.35(1.22–1.49)
STPTvs PTXslightly higher recurrence with STPT
1.12(1.02–1.24)
<STPTvs STPT/PTXhigher recurrence with <STPT
1.23(1.03–1.46)

Further pooled results

Preoperative PTH, calcium, phosphorus as predictors of outcomes

No significant associations of preoperative PTH, calcium or phosphorus with outcomes
