<jats:title>Purpose</jats:title>
<jats:p>Hypoparathyroidism is defined by hypocalcemia with inappropriately normal or low parathyroid hormone levels. The current standard treatment consists of lifelong calcium and/ or vitamin D supplementation. Even while on stable treatment regimens, hypoparathyroid patients might still suffer from symptoms that can negatively impact their quality of life.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>A systematic literature review to identify the current knowledge regarding quality of life in patients with hypoparathyroidism receiving standard treatment was performed on November 1st, 2023. PubMed as well as Web of Science were searched. The systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (#CRD42023470924).</jats:p>

<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>After removal of duplicates, 398 studies remained for title and abstract screening, after which 30 were included for full-text screening. After exclusion of seven studies with five studies lacking a control population, one using a non-validated questionnaire, and one being a subsample of the larger included study, 23 studies were included in this systematic review. The majority of the included studies used a guideline-conform definition of hypoparathyroidism, and the SF-36 was the most often applied tool. Almost all studies (87%) reported statistically significantly lower scores in at least one quality of life domain compared to a norm population or controls.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
<jats:p>Patients with hypoparathyroidism receiving standard treatment report impairments in quality of life. The reasons for these impairments are probably multifaceted, making regular monitoring and the inclusion of various professionals necessary.</jats:p>
