Patterns and Determinants of Change in Cortisol Levels and Thyroid Function as a Function of Cardiac Risk in Children Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

<div>Time taken for the recovery of thyroid function tests following cardiac surgery among children. Among the participants, 10.9%, 2.2%, and 8.7% (first portion of the bars from the left) had no decrease in TSH, fT3, and fT4, respectively. Recovery rates are shown at 48 and 72 hours postop, as well as the percentage of participants who had no recovery.</div>
