The relationship between serum thyroid hormone level and prognosis after cerebral infarction / 实用医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum thyroid hormone level and prognosis after cerebral infarction.Methods Serum thyroid hormone level was determined in 88 patients with partial anteri-or circulation infarction(PACI)and large artery atherosclerotic(LAA)cerebral infarction.After 6-months rehabili-tation,the difference of serum thyroid hormone level was compared among all groups. Results Significant differ-ences of serum free triiodothyronine(FT3)were observed in patients with different prognosis(P < 0.01). Signifi-cant correlation was found between the low level FT3and the good prognosis(P < 0.01). Conclusions The de-crease of serum thyroid hormone level after cerebral infarction is protective,and the FT3level is negatively correlat-ed with the prognosis of patients with cerebral infarction.
