Thyroid Hormone Levels Help to Predict Outcome of Critically Ill Patients Undergoing Early Neurological Rehabilitation

Table 1

Comparison of fT3, fT4, and TSH for patients with an unfavorable () and a favorable () outcome.

	Primary outcome measure
			value
fT3 (pg/ml)	1.70 (1.31-2.07)	1.83 (1.50-2.18)	.020^a
fT4 (pg/ml)	11.8 (10.3-13.7)	12.3 (10.9-13.7)	.179^a
TSH (mU/l)	1.67 (0.99-2.64)	1.90 (1.13-3.03)	.048^a

^aMann-Whitney test ( vs ). GOS = Glasgow Outcome Scale, fT3 = free triiodothyronine, fT4 = free thyroxine, TSH = thyroid-stimulating hormone.
