Abstract
Purpose
The objective of this study was to develop a dependable and uncomplicated prediction model utilizing clinical information readily accessible to patients before surgery. This model aimed to assess the likelihood of hungry bone syndrome occurrence in post-surgery patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), and to assist clinicians in adjusting treatment plans promptly.
Methods
In this study, we constructed an online nomogram utilizing independent variables determined through multiple logistic regression to predict the probability of HBS occurrence after parathyroidectomy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. To evaluate the precision and dependability of the nomogram, we used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
Results
Multivariate logistic regression analyses on 136 eligible patients identified age, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and blood calcium as independent HBS risk factors, which were then integrated into the nomogram. The area under ROC curve demonstrated the nomogram’s strong predictive accuracy. The calibration curve demonstrates consistency between the model’s prediction probability and observed probability, reflecting high prediction accuracy of the nomogram. Dynamic nomograms were found to hold significant practical clinical value as demonstrated by clinical decision analysis. It can be accessed on

Conclusion
In patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, the dynamic nomogram based on age, parathyroid hormone, and blood calcium can more accurately predict the likelihood of HBS after parathyroidectomy, allowing doctors to make clinical decisions more quickly and adjust treatment plans in a timely manner to reduce the incidence of HBS.
