Comparison of basic information and clinical data between the two groups of patients.
| Group | The number of cases (n) | Age (year) | Gender (Male/Female) | FT3 (pmol/l) | FT4 (pmol/l) | TSH* (mIU/l) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATM | 13 | 31.38 ± 7.92 | 4/9 | 20.66 ± 13.06 | 46.16 ± 20.86 | 0.01 (0.01,0.01) |
| nATM | 12 | 34.4 ± 11.92 | 2/10 | 15.02 ± 11.14 | 31.06 ± 19.81 | 0.01 (0.01,0.02) |
| t | \ | -0.743 | -0.809 | 1.157 | 1.852 | -1.635 |
| p | \ | 0.46 | 0.43 | 0.26 | 0.08 | 0.124 |
*TSH level showed a non-normal distribution; therefore, the Mann-Whitney U test was used, and the TSH level is presented as median (25%, 75%).
*FT3, Free triiodothyronine in serum; FT4, Free thyroxine in serum; TSH, Thyroid stimulating hormone; ATM, Acute thyrotoxic myopathy; nATM, Non-acute thyrotoxic myopathy hyperthyroidism.
