Retrospective cohort study of trends in the use of outpatient parathyroidectomy by surgical indication.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundA shift toward outpatient parathyroidectomy was seen in the early 2000s. Recent trends, especially for secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, have not been described. This study evaluates temporal trends in same-day, overnight, and inpatient parathyroidectomy by surgical indication.
methodsAdult patients who underwent parathyroidectomy were identified in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient and State Ambulatory Surgery Databases from 2013 to 2019. Admission type was defined by length of stay as same-day, overnight, or inpatient. Parathyroidectomy indications were classified using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth and Tenth Revision, codes. Patient and hospital characteristics were compared for all parathyroidectomy and for each indication. The Cochran-Armitage test of trend was used to examine admission practice patterns over time for the overall cohort and by surgical indication.
resultsOf 67,436 parathyroidectomies, most were outpatient with 45,352 (67.3%) same-day and 17,918 (26.6%) overnight discharges. Among 4,166 (6.2%) inpatient parathyroidectomies, median length of stay was 3 days (interquartile range, 2, 5). The most common indication was primary hyperparathyroidism (n = 45,937; 68.1%). Overall, from 2013 to 2019, there was an increase in the proportion of same-day parathyroidectomy with a decrease in overnight and inpatient status over time. This pattern was driven by the most common indication of primary hyperparathyroidism. In secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, there was an increase in the proportion of same-day parathyroidectomy with an associated decrease in inpatient stays.
conclusionThe trend towards outpatient, particularly same-day parathyroidectomy, has continued for primary hyperparathyroidism. Trend towards outpatient parathyroidectomy is emerging in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
