ClinConnect Summary

Patients submitted to total thyroidectomy according to clinical practice will be invited to participate in this study. If they accept, they will have to complete three questionaries to evaluate their HRQoL: SF-36, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and a specifically designed Likert-type questionary about the intensity of hypoparathyroidism symptoms; the day before the surgery and one week and one month after it. In those cases that develop permanent hypoparathyroidism, an additional evaluation will be done 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery.
