Abstract. The pattern of thyroid function changes following severe trauma was assessed prospectively in 35 patients during the first 5 days after injury. Patients were divided into 2 groups to evaluate the effect of head injury: group I, patients with severe head injury; group II, patients with multiple injuries without head injury. The results demonstrate a low T3 and low T4 syndrome throughout the study, with decreases in both total and free levels of T3 and T4, normal or increased rT3 levels, and normal TSH levels. The presence of severe head injury was associated with lower levels of TSH and free T3. Mortality was 37%. Survival was associated with higher TSH and T3 levels, but not with higher T4 levels. TSH levels exceeding 1 mU/l on the first day were only observed in survivors. These findings show that a typical low T3 and low T4 syndrome is present after severe trauma in patients with multiple injury as well as with head injury. Primary hypothyroidism can be excluded, pituitary or hypothalamic hypothyroidism is likely in these patients.
