Low Tri-iodothyronine Syndrome Is Associated With Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study

Low tri-iodothyronine (T3) syndrome is a predictor of poor prognosis in patients with stroke. Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common and important complication after stroke. The association between low T3 syndrome and PSCI is unclear. We aimed to explore the potential relationship between low T3 syndrome and PSCI in the acute phase of ischemic stroke at a 1-month follow-up visit.
