Low T3 vs low T3T4 euthyroid sick syndrome in septic shock patients: A prospective observational cohort study

Table 1 Demographic parameters, mortality scores, mechanical ventilation and outcome

	Female	12 (50)	13 (56.5)
BMI		25.8 ± 5.4	26.6 ± 5.4	0.712
APACHE II		18.8 ± 6.9	20.8 ± 7.7	0.398
SAPS II		52.5 ± 13.1	59.0 ± 15.5	0.046
SOFA		10.6 ± 2.8	10.6 ± 4.6	0.857
Outcome
	Discharge	16 (66.6)	11 (47.8)	0.125
	Death	8 (33.3)	12 (52.1)
ICU stay in days		13.6 ± 25.0	22.0 ± 21.0	0.837
MV in days		9.5 ± 3.1	15.4 ± 19.3	0.906

Student’s t-test and χ² test were used for the analysis, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant between the groups. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) and n (%) values are found in the article by Kovacevic et al[29]. APACHE II: Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II; BMI: Body mass index; ICU: Intensive care unit; MV: Mechanical ventilation; SAPS II: Simplified acute physiology score II; SOFA: Sequential organ failure assessment.
