Epidemiology and management of parathyroid gland disorders in Spain over 15 years: A retrospective multicentre analysis

PloS One
Josep Darbà, Alicia Marsà

Abstract

Parathyroid gland disorders are rare conditions with an incidence that displays great variability among populations. Its direct influence in calcium homeostasis originates variable symptoms that affect bone remodelling among other processes. This study aimed to provide data on the epidemiology and characteristics of patients admitted with these disorders in Spain between 2003 and 2017, and to analyse disease management and direct medical costs. Medical records in which a disorder of the parathyroid gland was registered as the admission motive were extracted from a nationwide hospital-discharge database via the Spanish Ministry of Health. Records from 12,903 patients were obtained, with predominance of female patients (74.70%) and of admissions due to hyperparathyroidism (90.23%). The number of patients admitted per year increased over the study period along the incidence of these disorders. The year 2017 incidence of hyperparathyroidism was 2.95 per 10,000, 4.03 per 10,000 in females and 1.37 in males; the same year, the incidence of hypoparathyroidism was 0.17 per 10,000. Length of hospital stay was significantly extended in patients with hypoparathyroidism (7.16 days), admitted mostly due to emergencies. Heart failure was dia...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
