Clinical events in patients with normal thyroid‐stimulating hormone compared with elevated thyroid‐stimulating hormone

	Normal TSH (n = 1846)	Elevated TSH (n = 131)	Unadjusted HR (95% CI)	P value
All‐cause mortality	216 (11.7)	34 (26.0)	2.44 (1.70‐3.50)	<0.001
Cardiac mortality	84 (4.6)	12 (9.2)	2.10 (1.15‐3.85)	0.016
In‐hospital mortality	44 (2.4)	8 (6.1)	2.63 (1.24‐5.58)	0.012
Nonfatal stroke	38 (2.1)	5 (3.8)	1.98 (0.78‐5.03)	0.151
Nonfatal myocardial infarction	35 (1.9)	1 (0.8)	0.43 (0.06‐3.13)	0.404
Revascularization	259 (14.0)	15 (11.5)	0.85(0.51‐1.44)	0.549

CI, confidence interval; HR , hazard ratio; TSH, thyroid‐stimulating hormone.
