When comparing patients according to their 25-hydroxyvitaminD levels, insufficiency was associated with a lower rate of transient postoperative hypocalcemia (p = 0.05); deficiency was associated with higher preoperative PTH (p = 0.021), postoperative PTH (p = 0.043) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (p = 0.031) and lower serum creatinine (p = 0.014). Here, PTH is linked to Hypocalcemia.
