proportionally associated with disease severity and survival
nonthyroidal illness syndrome
Patients with persistent deterioration of hormone levels (T3, T4) during the study period had higher mortality than those who normalized the function of the thyroid axis
LT3S in patients with septic shock is part of the pathophysiology of this disease and/or an associated organ (endocrine-metabolic) failure and not just an adaptive phenomenon
substitution treatment with synthetic thyroid hormones could modify the hemodynamic symptoms of septic patients, contributing in part to the decrease in their morbidity and mortality
