Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate euthyroid sick syndrome as a predictor of mortality in ICU patients, identify factors influencing death, and create a formula for calculating death probability.
- Conducted in a hospital's ICU with 100 patients, most were young women, but older patients with euthyroid sick syndrome had higher mortality rates, linked to length of hospital stay and comorbidities.
- The research found key thyroid hormone levels related to mortality, developing a logistic regression formula for death probability, though it noted a gender sampling bias due to the hospital's focus on maternal care.
