Overview
Euthyroid sick syndrome is seen in 40-100% patients of nonthyroidal illness. The rate is higher for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Euthyroid sick syndrome is more commonly seen in elderly population. There is no racial predilection for euthyroid sick syndrome and both men and women are affected equally.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of euthyroid sick syndrome is estimated to be 40,000 per 100,000 cases of nonthyroidal illness annually.[1][2]
- In intensive care unit (ICU) the rate of euthyroid sick syndrome is as high as 70,000 per 100,000 cases of nonthyroidal illness.
- In hospitalized patients the rate of euthyroid sick syndrome is 10,000 per 100,000 cases of nonthyroidal illness.
Age
Euthyroid sick syndrome is more commonly seen in elderly population. People over 65 have more chronic illnesses and have a greater probability of developing euthyroid sick syndrome.[3]
Race
Euthyroid sick syndrome has no racial predilection.
Sex
Euthyroid sick syndrome affects men and women equally.
