Figure 1

Distributions of the TSH (panel A), FT4 (panel B) and FT3 (panel C) and the average results of the sixty children (panel D). TSH results were presented in logarithmic scale. Distribution of Jostel’s TSH index (calculated by [ln(TSH) + 0.1345 = FT4], panel E), and 14 children with discordant interpretation based on a reference interval of 1.3–4.1 (panel F, cells shaded in blue were <1.3, in green were 1.3–4.1, in red were >4.1).
