The Association Between Low T3 Syndrome and Survival in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT: Objective: The correlation between low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome and shorter survival in malignant tumor patients has been increasingly reported. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association between low T3 syndrome and survival in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Methods: A total of 201 newly diagnosed MM patients were included in this retrospective study. All participants were divided into 2 groups based on serum free T3 (FT3) level: low T3 syndrome group (FT3 < 2.3 pg/mL) and non-low T3 syndrome group (FT3 ≥ 2.3 pg/mL). Baseline clinical characteristics, overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were analyzed. Results: 80 (39.8%) patients had low T3 syndrome. Patients with low T3 syndrome had significantly lower blood hemo
