Association Between TSH Level and Stroke Severity: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Modified Rankin Scale

This cross-sectional study of 204 stroke patients examined the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and stroke severity measured by the modified Rankin scale. A statistically significant weak-to-moderate negative correlation was found between TSH levels and stroke disability during admission and discharge, suggesting thyroid dysfunction may influence stroke outcomes.
