Comment on Vidart et al. Relationship among Low T3 Levels, Type 3 Deiodinase, Oxidative Stress, and Mortality in Sepsis and Septic Shock: Defining Patient Outcomes. Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2023, 24, 3935.

Abstract

In a previously published article, Vidart and colleagues conducted a prospective cohort study to explore the correlation between T3 levels and the risk of sepsis and septic shock in patients, with a follow-up period of 28 days or until deceased. The authors concluded that patients with sepsis and septic shock exhibited a significantly high risk of having low T3 levels. This research provides valuable insights into the clinical perspective in this particular field. However, certain clinical considerations should be addressed to enhance the study's merit for researchers.
