  1. In a multiple regression analysis including adenoma weight (quartiles), Ki-67 index (quartiles) and gender (female), loss of or reduced parafibromin expression remained the only independent variable associated with parathyroid carcinoma

  3. p-values < 0.05 were considered significant and are highlighted in bold
