(Impact of Thyroid Dysfunction in Correlation to Mortality Rate of the Critically ILL ICU Patients (Prospective Observational Study
Walid Saad Ibrahim;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: during critical illness, changes in circulating hormonal levels are a common phenomenon. These alterations are correlated with the severity and outcome of patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Thyroid hormone plays a key role in the maintenance of the body growth, modulating metabolism and the immune system.
Aim of the Work: is to assess the relation between thyroid dysfunction and mortality in critically ill patients and to assess the strength of thyroid dysfunction as a predictor of mortality against APACHE II score and CRP, also to assess the additive effect of low FT3 and high APACHE II score as a predictor of mortality.
