Association between thyroid hormone sensitivity and ischemic stroke-associated pneumonia: The role of FT3/FT4 ratio
In euthyroid patients with ischemic stroke, a lower FT3/FT4 ratio and reduced TFQI-FT3 levels were linked to higher odds of iSAP. These exploratory findings suggest that thyroid hormone sensitivity indices, particularly the FT3/FT4 ratio, may serve as potential predictive markers and warrant validation in prospective studies.
