HYPOPARATHYROIDISM
At baseline and weeks 10, 20, and 26, participants completed the Hypoparathyroidism Patient Experience Scale (HPES), a psychometrically validated, disease‐specific questionnaire that includes both symptom and impact measures.Participants also completed the 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36, version 2), a 36‐item health questionnaire that assesses eight dimensions of health: physical functioning, role physical (ie, role limitations due to physical health problems), bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional (ie, role limitations due to emotional problems), and mental health. The SF‐36 also includes two summary scores for physical and mental health. All scores are expressed relative to the mean of the general US population, with higher scores corresponding to less disability.
