Figure 2

The ROC curves for various patients: (a) the ROC curve analysis of PTH reduction in predicting postoperative day 1 hypocalcemia in the whole cohort (n = 176); (b) the ROC curve analysis of PTH reduction in predicting postoperative day 1 hypocalcemia in patients who underwent thyroidectomy with bilateral central lymph node dissection (bilateral group, n = 155); (c) the ROC curve analysis of the PTH decrease in predicting postoperative day 1 hypocalcemia in female patients (n = 137).
