Declarations
:
: Comprehensible online educational materials facilitate effective healthcare literacy and empower patients to participate in shared decision-making, which is especially important given the complex diagnostic and therapeutic considerations for parathyroid disorders. This study is the first to assess readability of online resources for patients with parathyroid disorders and reveals a significant disparity in the current availability of resources at the recommended reading level, without available sources at or below the recommended sixth reading grade level.
: The authors of this manuscript have no direct or indirect financial or personal relationships, interests, or affiliations relevant to the subject matter of the manuscript over the last two years, nor are there any expected in the foreseeable future. This disclosure includes, but is not limited to grants, funding, employment, affiliation, patents (in preparation, filed, or granted), inventions, honoraria, consultancies, royalties, stock options/ownership, or expert testimony.
