About this trial

The goal of this study is to address surgical health equity in historically marginalized participants with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The main questions that this study aims to answer are, how does patient navigation impact:

* The proportion of PHPT participants undergo parathyroidectomy? * The proportion of PHPT participants who complete surgical consultation? * Time to surgical consultation? * Time to surgery?

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Diagnosed with PHPT and not yet had parathyroidectomy who meet criteria for surgical treatment of PHPT (osteoporosis, fragility fracture, or evidence of vertebral compression fracture on spine imaging, renal involvement [renal stone, silent nephrolithiasis on renal imaging, nephrocalcinosis, hypercalciuria (24-hour urine calcium level 400 mg/dL) with increased stone risk, or impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate 60 mL/min)], calcium 1 mg/dL above upper limit of normal, age less than 50)

Qualify as a member of a racial or ethnic minority group (Black, Hispanic, Asian and Pacific Islander, Native American), lower socioeconomic neighborhoods (by zipcode), socially vulnerable (social determinants of health indicating financial strain, social vulnerability index in the top quartile 75%+ by zip code), or with underinsurance (Medicaid, Medicare, dual eligible, uninsured)
