"The role of thyroid hormones is crucial in the response to stress and critical illness, which has been reported to be closely associated with a poor prognosis in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). This study aimed to explore the relationship between thyroid hormone and prognosis in septic shock patients."
--> So T3 seems to be a reliable predictor of mortality due to sepsis.
This graph illustrates it nicely: After 23 days people with a higher T3 level (>0.48nmol/l) had a 75% survival rate, while people with a lower T3 level had about a 5-10% survival rate.
