Abstract
Low T3 syndrome occurs frequently in patients with sepsis. Type 3 deiodinase (DIO3) is present in immune cells, but there is no description of its presence in patients with sepsis. Here, we aimed to determine the prognostic impact of thyroid hormones levels (TH), measured on ICU admission, on mortality and evolution to chronic critical illness (CCI) and the presence of DIO3 in white cells. We used a prospective cohort study with a follow-up for 28 days or deceased. Low T3 levels at admission we ...
Low T3 syndrome occurs frequently in patients with sepsis. Type 3 deiodinase (DIO3) is present in immune cells, but there is no description of its presence in patients with sepsis. Here, we aimed to determine the prognostic impact of thyroid hormones levels (TH), measured on ICU admission, on mortality and evolution to chronic critical illness (CCI) and the presence of DIO3 in white cells. We used a prospective cohort study with a follow-up for 28 days or deceased. Low T3 levels at admission were present in 86.5% of the patients. DIO3 was induced by 55% of blood immune cells. The cutoff value of 60 pg/mL for T3 displayed a sensitivity of 81% and specificity of 64% for predicting death, with an odds ratio of 4.89. Lower T3 yielded an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.76 for mortality and 0.75 for evolution to CCI, thus displaying better performance than commonly used prognostic scores. The high expression of DIO3 in white cells provides a novel mechanism to explain the reduction in T3 levels in sepsis patients. Further, low T3 levels independently predict progression to CCI and mortality within 28 days for sepsis and septic shock patients. ...
