Table 5.

Multivariate analysis of risk factors for the development of transient hypoparathyroidism.

Variables OR 95% CI P value
Gender (female) 1.977 1.366–2.861 0.000
Surgical extent (≥BCND) 1.554 1.114–2.168 0.009
Parathyroid autotransplantation (1) 1.834 1.332–2.526 0.000

BCND, bilateral central neck dissection; CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio. (1) autotransplantation of one parathyroid gland increases the incidence of transient hypoparathyroidism.
