Effect of Preoperative High-dose Cholecalciferol in Prevention of Post-thyroidectomy Hypocalcaemia : A Randomized Controlled Trial
Hypocalcaemia after thyroidectomy is observed with increasing frequency, often resulting in prolonged hospital stay with increased use of resources, delayed return to work and reduced quality of life.
