PURPOSE
The management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) during pregnancy may be surgical or conservative. This study compared adverse outcomes between surgical and non-surgical treatments. Additionally, the study investigated the correlation between serum calcium values and complication rates.
METHODS
A systematic review of retrospective studies, case series, and case reports. Biochemical parameters, interventions, and outcomes of each pregnancy were recorded. The study population comprised two groups: the non-surgical and surgical groups. Adverse outcomes were categorized as maternal, obstetric, or neonatal.
RESULTS
The surgical and non-surgical groups consisted of 163 and 185 patients, respectively. A positive correlation was observed between the mean maternal gestational calcium value and both maternal and obstetric complication. Neonatal complications were more prevalent in patients treated conservatively across all maternal calcium values (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in maternal outcomes and overall obstetric outcomes between the study groups, albeit a higher mean serum calcium value in the surgical group (12.3 mg/dL) compared with the non-surgical group (11.1 mg/dL).
CONCLUSIONS
Given the significantly lower neonatal adverse outcomes in the non-surgical group compared to the surgical group, along with non-inferior maternal and obstetric outcomes in the surgical group, the overall data of this study suggest that parathyroidectomy is favorable to non-surgical management even in cases of mild hypercalcemia.
