Does any one know of literature studying the prevalence of sick
euthyroidism in in-patients?
Clearly it depende on the diagnostic criteria but the evidence that
I have seen would suggest that approx 20% of patients in heart
failure and 50% of elderly patients requiring emergency surgery.
Many thanks for your help,
Julian Barth
