Introduction
Overview
Overview
In Denmark, the incidence of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism is approximately 0.8 per 100,000 person-years. In United States, the prevalence of hypoparathyroidism is approximately 37 per 100,000 person-years. Majority of patients with hypoparathyroidism are 45 years or older.
