Among patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), parathyroidectomy offers a chance of cure and mitigation of disease-related complications. The impact of race/ethnicity on referral and utilization of parathyroidectomy has not been fully explored. Population-based, retrospective cohort study using 100% Medicare claims from beneficiaries with PHPT from 2006–2016. Associations of race/ethnicity with disease severity, surgeon evaluation, and subsequent parathyroidectomy were analyzed using adjusted multivariable logistic regression models. Among 210,206 beneficiaries with PHPT, 63,136 (30.0%) underwent parathyroidectomy within 1 year of diagnosis. Black patients were more likely than other race/ethnicities to have stage 3 chronic kidney disease (10.8%) but had lower prevalence of osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis. Compared to White patients, Black and Hispanic patients were more likely to have been hospitalized for PHPT-associated conditions (White 4.8%, Black 8.1%, Hispanic 5.8%; p<.001). Patients who were White and met operative criteria were more likely to undergo parathyroidectomy than Black, Hispanic or Asian patients (White 30.5%, Black 23.0%, Hispanic 21.4%, Asian 18.7%; p<.001). Black and Hispanic patients had lower adjusted odds of being evaluated by a surgeon (ORs 0.71 [95%CI 0.69–0.74], 0.68 [95%CI 0.61–0.74], respectively) and undergoing parathyroidectomy if evaluated by a surgeon (ORs 0.72 [95%CI 0.68–0.77], 0.82 [95%CI 0.67–0.99]). Asian race was associated with lower adjusted odds of being evaluated by a surgeon (OR 0.64 [95%CI 0.57–0.71]), but no difference in odds of parathyroidectomy. Racial/ethnic disparities exist in the management of PHPT among older adults. Determining the factors that account for this disparity require urgent attention to achieve parity in the management of PHPT.
