Frequency and outcomes of parathyroid preservation in total thyroidectomy.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: To determine the frequency and its outcome of parathyroid preservation in total thyroidectomy. Study Design: Case Series study. Setting: Department of Otorhinolaryngology, HMC, MTI, Peshawar. Period: 23rd June 2022 to 23rd Dec 2022. Methods: A total of 246 patients who underwent thyroidectomy were included in the study and followed up to determine the preservation of parathyroid gland, hypocalcaemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Results: The mean age of the sample was 37.7 + 12.3 years. There were 52.8% male patients and 47.2% female patients. 28.9% of patients had thyroid nodule and subtotal thyroidectomy was the most performed procedure Parathyroid gland preservation was recorded in 72%. On follow up, hypocalcemia was recorded in 16.3% and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury in 20.3%. Conclusion: Hypocalcemia and RLNI are significantly common after thyroidectomy. Hypocalcemia was significantly high in patients with low non preserved parathyroid gland. More research on high sample size and addressing other effect modifiers are recommended with intervention to preserve parathyroid gland.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
