AbstractBackgroundThyroid hormone plays an important role in the adaptation of metabolic function to critically ill. The relationship between thyroid hormone levels and the outcomes of septic shock is still unclear. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of thyroid hormone for prognosis in pediatric septic shock.MethodsWe performed a prospective observational study in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Patients with septic shock were enrolled from August 2017 to July 2019. Clinical and laboratory indexes were collected, and thyroid hormone levels were measured on PICU admission.ResultsNinety-three patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. The incidence of nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) was 87.09% (81/93) in patients with septic shock. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that T4 level was independently associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with septic shock (OR: 0.965, 95% CI: 0.937–0.993, p = 0.017). The area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for T4 was 0.762 (95% CI: 0.655–0.869). The cutoff threshold value of 58.71 nmol/L for T4 offered a sensitivity of 61.54% and a specificity of 85.07%, and patients with T4 < 58.71 nmol/L showed high mortality (60.0%). Moreover, T4 levels were negatively associated with the pediatric risk of mortality III scores (PRISM III), lactate (Lac) level in septic shock children.ConclusionsNonthyroidal illness syndrome is common in pediatric septic shock. T4 is an independent predictor for in-hospital mortality, and patients with T4 < 58.71 nmol/L on PICU admission could be with a risk of hospital mortality.

Introduction: The incidence of neonatal sepsis in India is 38 per 1000 live births. Many authorsfound an association between altered thyroid hormone levels and septic shock in neonates and itmay be of prognostic importance in septic shock treatment. This study has been conducted to findthe relationship between thyroid profile and septic shock in neonates and also to compare thethyroid profile in survivor and non-survivor groups of septic shock patients. Methods: Thisanalytical prospective cohort study was conducted in the NICU of a tertiary care teaching institutionin central India. Full-term neonates with late-onset sepsis were included in this study and estimationof thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4, fT3, and fT4) was performed. These neonates were divided intothose with and without septic shock patients and levels of thyroid hormones were correlatedbetween these patients to find significant relations. The Vasoactive-Inotropic Score (VIS) score wascalculated. Results: A total of 195 full-term neonates were included in the study. The mean value ofTSH, T3, T4, fT3, and fT4 among neonates with septic shock were 5.27 μg/ml, 80.01 ng/dl, 6.36μg/dl, 1.40 pg/ml, and 1.40 μg/dl, respectively while the values were 5.29 μg/ml, 94.4 ng/dl, 7.25μg/dl, 1.84 pg/ml, and 1.43 μg/dl, respectively in septic neonates without shock. This difference wasstatistically significant except for TSH (p>0.05). The mean value of TSH, T3, T4, fT3, and fT4 amongseptic shock survivors were 5.27 μg/ml, 80.01 ng/dl, 6.36 μg/dl, 1.40 pg/ml, and 1.40 μg/dl and inseptic shock non-survivors were 2.40 μg/ml, 37.33 ng/dl, 3.86 μg/dl, 0.99 pg/ml, and 0.84 μg/dl,respectively (p<0.0001). Only T3 was found to be significantly co-related with VIS in septic shock inall the groups (<0.001). Conclusion: Our study suggests that TSH, T3, T4, fT3, and fT4 levels aresignificantly low in patients suffering from the septic shock which may vary in the case of TSH. Also,there is a significant decrease in thyroid profile among septic shock non-survivors as compared tosurvivors.

<p><b>Objective:</b> The aim of this study was to examine the effects of positive inotropic drugs, including adrenaline, dopamine, and dobutamine on thyroid hormone levels following open heart surgery.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> We analyzed free thyroid hormones (FT3 and FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormones (TSH) in 200 consecutive patients undergoing open heart surgery. Patients were divided into 5 groups according to the inotropic drug administration as follows: Group A (n = 46) received dopamine alone; Group B (n = 40), dopamine and dobutamine; Group C (n = 36), dopamine, dobutamine, and adrenaline; Group D (n = 32), adrenaline alone; and Group E (n = 46), placebo. Procedural factors affecting thyroid hormones were recorded and included cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, cross-clamping time, degree of hypothermia, and the duration and doses of positive inotropic drugs. Blood samples for hormone assays were collected before initiation of inotropic drug therapy (baseline) and postoperatively at 24, 72, and 120 hours after drug therapy.</p><p><b>Results:</b> FT3, FT4, and TSH levels at baseline were similar in all groups. Although there was a trend showing very slight increases in thyroid hormone levels from baseline to the 24th, 72nd, and 120th postoperative hours after drug therapy, these changes were not significant, and there were also no significant differences between the groups. There was also no significant statistical difference in CPB time, cross-clamping time, degree of hypothermia, and duration and doses of positive inotropic drugs between groups.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Although thyroid hormone levels were affected by positive inotropic drug usage after open heart surgery, this effect was not significant and thyroid hormone levels remained within normal ranges.</p>
