Table 2
Comparison of mean ranks of anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies between TSH and free T4 normal and deranged groups.
| | TSH | Free T4 | Normal TSH (0.4–4.5 mIU/ml) | Deranged TSH (<0.4 or >4.5) | value | OR (95% CI) | Normal T4 (8–21 pmol/l) | Deranged T4 (<8 or >21) | value | OR (95% CI) |
| Anti-TPO antibodies mean rank | 137.76 () | 196.81 () | 0.001 | 4.3 (2.62–7.23) | 68.93 () | 77.5 () | 0.286 | 2.0 (0.93–4.45) | Anti-TG antibodies mean rank | 38.02 () | 40.96 () | 0.098 | 4.2 (1.44–12.2) | 20.76 () | 19.96 () | 0.840 | 1.27 (0.29–5.46) |
