Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with substantial morbidity, including osteoporosis, nephrolithiasis, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Parathyroidectomy (PTX) can prevent these sequelae but is poorly utilized in many practice settings. We performed a retrospective cohort study using the national Optum de-identified Clinformatics® Data Mart Database. We identified patients aged ≥35 with a first observed PHPT diagnosis from 2004–2016. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine patient/provider characteristics associated with PTX. Of 26,522 patients with PHPT, 10,101 (38.1%) underwent PTX. Of the 14,896 patients with any operative indication, 5,791 (38.9%) underwent PTX. Over time, there was a decreasing trend in the rate of PTX overall (2004: 54.4% to 2016: 32.4% p<.001) and among groups with and without an operative indication. On multivariable analysis, increasing age and comorbidities were strongly, inversely associated with PTX (age 75–84, OR 0.50[95%CI 0.45–0.55]; age ≥85, OR 0.21[95%CI 0.17–0.26] versus age 35–49; Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥2 vs 0 OR 0.62[95%CI 0.58–0.66]). The majority of U.S., privately insured patients with PHPT are not treated with PTX. Having an operative indication only modestly increases the likelihood of PTX. Further research is needed to address barriers to treatment and the gap between guidelines and clinical care in PHPT. Using the Optum de-identified Clinformatics Data Mart Database, we found that the majority of patients are not treated with parathyroidectomy and meeting the consensus criteria for surgery only modestly increases the likelihood of definitive surgical management. These results are important, because they suggest that focused efforts are needed to educate providers about appropriate, evidence-based guidelines for management of primary hyperparathyroidism and to identify barriers to surgical referral and utilization of parathyroidectomy.
