Overview
The incidence of euthyroid sick syndrome in intensive care unit (ICU) is approximately 70,000 per 100,000 cases of nonthyroidal illness. The prevalence of euthyroid sick syndrome is estimated to be 40,000 per 100,000 cases of nonthyroidal illness. 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.
