Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between C-reactive protein/albumin (CRP/Alb), neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR) ratios and the Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score and 28-day mortality among 400 patients admitted to internal medicine and anesthesia reanimation intensive care unit (ICU). Methods This prospective study included a total of 400 patients who were admitted to hospital internal medicine and anesthesia reanimation ICUs. Results The most common reasons for ICU admission were pneumonia (29.3%), gastrointestinal bleeding (10.3%), acute exacerbation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (10.3%), and acute kidney injury (7.5%). The comparison of the laboratory findings with survival outcomes revealed that among the patients with acute exacerbation of CKD, the median NLR (p=0.043) and median CRP/Alb (p=0.021) were significantly higher in patients who died. For all of the patients, the APACHE II score was positively correlated with CRP (p<0.001) and CRP/Alb (p<0.001), negatively correlated with Alb (p<0.001), positively correlated with the NLR (p<0.001), and positively correlated with the PLR. Conclusions The APACHE II score was significantly correlated with the CRP/Alb ratio, NLR, and PLR. The NLR and CRP/Alb ratio were statistically associated with mortality in patients hospitalized for acute exacerbation of CKD.

ObjectiveTo quantitatively evaluate associations between exposure to triclosan during pregnancy and maternal thyroid hormone levels.MethodThe databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were systematically searched to identify relevant studies on the relationship between prenatal exposure to triclosan and maternal levels of serum thyroid hormone published before October 22, 2019. Stata 12.0 was used to examine the heterogeneity among the eligible studies.ResultsSeven studies involving a total of 4,136 participants were included. Overall, descriptive analysis provided no indication that exposure to TCS during pregnancy was related to either maternal FT4 levels (ES = 0.01, 95% CI: −0.03 to 0.05, P = 0.00) or TSH levels (ES = −0.03, 95% CI: −0.13 to 0.07, P = 0.412). Although the results were statistically insignificant, with the increase of urine TCS concentration, maternal FT4 levels exhibited a tendency to increase while TSH levels had a tendency to decrease during pregnancy.ConclusionThe results indicated that exposure to triclosan during pregnancy has no significant influence on maternal levels of thyroid hormone. On account of the inconsistency of existing research designs and study locations, further studies and replication are necessary to confirm these findings.

Thyroid Profile

Objective: Non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is associated with outcomes in Intensive Care Unit(ICU) patients. The objectives of the study were to assess the prognostic value of complete thyroid profile in critically ill patients and to determine the effect of thyroid hormone level in predicting mortality when used along with acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score.Methods: The observational study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in Kolhapur, India. Critically ill adult patients admitted to intensive care units with APACHE II >10 was included(n=50). Relevant clinical investigations along with thyroid profile evaluation was carried out and APACHE II was calculated.  Baseline characteristics of patients were compared.  Performance of variables in predicting mortality was analysed. Correlation of APACHE II score with thyroid was also assessed in R software v-3.6.1.Results: The survival rate at ICU discharge was 54%. Mean T3, FT3, and T4 levels were significantly low in non-survivors(p=0.006758, p=0.0245 and p=0.00070 respectively).  Mean APACHE II score was significantly high in non- survivor(p=2.94E-06). APACHE II score was significantly associated with the severity of disease (p=0.0235). APACHE II scores and FT3 were better predictors of mortality compared to other thyroid hormones (AUC =0.8519±0.0535). FT3 showed high correlation with APACHE II score(r=-0.4083; p=0.0032). Inclusion of thyroid hormone levels with APACHE II scores improved the prediction of mortality in critically ill patients by 5.63%.Conclusion: Among thyroid hormones, FT3 is a better predictor of mortality. Use of thyroid hormone levels in conjunction with APACHE II scores improves the prognostication.
