INTRODUCTION The inflammatory response of critical illness is accompanied by non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS). Feeding has been shown to attenuate this process, but this has not been explored prospectively over time in critically ill patients. OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of calorie exposure on NTIS over time in critically ill patients. METHODS Mechanically ventilated systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) patients were randomized to receive either 100% or 40% of their estimated caloric needs (100% ECN vs 40% ECN respectively). Thyroid hormones were measured daily for 7 days or until intensive care unit discharge or death. Mixed level regression modeling was used to explore the effect of randomization group on the plasma T3/rT3 ratio as well as T3, rT3, T4, and TSH. RESULTS Thirty-five participants (19 in 100% ECN, 16 in 40% ECN) were recruited. Adjusting for group differences in baseline T3/rT3 ratio, the parameters defining the fitted curves (intercept, linear effect of study day and quadratic effect of study day) differed by randomization group (p=0.001, p=0.01, and p=0.02 respectively). Plots of the fitted curves revealed participants in the 100% ECN group had a 54% higher T3/rT3 ratio on post-intervention day 1 compared to the 40% ECN group, a difference which attenuated over time. This was driven by a 23% higher plasma T3 and 10% lower plasma rT3 levels on post-intervention 1. CONCLUSIONS Higher caloric exposure in NTIS patients transiently attenuates the drop of the plasma T3/rT3 ratio, an effect that is minimized and finally lost over the next 3 days of continued higher caloric exposure.
