DTDavid ThorsteinssonKarolinska University Hospital FGFredrik GranathKarolinska Institutet RBRobert BränströmKarolinska University Hospital

Key Points

To investigate the trends in incidence and prevalence of biochemically confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in Stockholm from 2006 to 2020.
Analyzed a comprehensive healthcare database
Assessed incidence and prevalence trends
Focused on diagnostic confirmation rates among older individuals
Incidence and prevalence of PHPT increased significantly during the study period
Only 52% of those with PHPT received a clinical diagnosis
Indicates a potential long-term clinical burden of undiagnosed PHPT in the population

Abstract

Using a large healthcare database, we observed substantially increasing PHPT incidence and prevalence, predominantly in older individuals. Only 52% received clinical diagnosis, underscoring the need for studies evaluating the long-term clinical burden of undiagnosed PHPT.
