After adjustment for relevant covariates, including age, BMI, gender, ECOG performance status, and disease stage, high basal TSH levels showed a trend toward association with improved therapeutic response, although the associations did not reach statistical significance.
A particularly strong association was noted in the high BMI subgroup (≥24), where the hazard ratio for death was 0.27 (95% CI: 0.09–0.83; P = 0.02), with a borderline significant interaction P value of 0.06, suggesting that higher body mass might amplify the protective effect of TSH.
