Distribution of serum thyroid stimulating hormone (A) and box plots of C-reactive protein (B) concentrations in patients admitted to high or low intensity of care units Date are expressed as median (IQR). (A) Patients with known thyroid disorders at hospitalisation were not included. Serum thyroid stimulating hormone was 1·43 (0·88–2·37) mIU/L in the HICU-19 group; 1·04 (0·47–1·80) mIU/L in the HICU-20 group; and 1·43 (0·71–2·28) in the LICU-20 group (p=0·018). The HICU-20 group had a lower thyroid stimulating hormone concentration than the HICU-19 group (p=0·009) and the LICU-20 group (p=0·045). (B) C-reactive protein concentrations were 66 (15–121) mg/L in the HICU-19 group; 96 (51–177) mg/L in the HICU-20 group; and 52 22–103 mg/L in the LICU-20 group (p=0·0038). HICU=high intensity of care unit. LICU=low intensity of care unit. *78 patients admitted to HICUs in 2019. †85 patients admitted to HICUs in 2020. ‡41 patients admitted to LICUs in 2020.
