To date, 93 cases have been screened for possible study enrollment. Of these, 23 have fulfilled all of the enrollment criteria (92% of total cases needed) and are still in the study, 7 were enrolled but ultimately excluded (either determined to have a chronic disease, did not follow-up, or determined to have overt or subclinical hypothyroidism), 8 were not enrolled despite having a low total T4 (owner did not allow for study enrollment or found to have a chronic disease during diagnostic work-up), and 55 had a normal total T4 (failed to fulfill this inclusion criteria).

Research Update CHF 02686-A EY2: Pattern of Thyroid Function Tests during Recovery from Acute Nonthyroidal Illness
To date, 52 cases have been screened for possible study enrollment, of which 13 fulfilled enrollment criteria (~50% of total cases needed). Based on the case enrollment thus far, 11/13 dogs had normalization of total T4 by the 2-week recheck.

Research Update CHF 02686-A EY1: Pattern of Thyroid Function Tests during Recovery from Acute Nonthyroidal Illness
To date, 5 cases (20% of the goal) have been enrolled.
Based on the case enrollment thus far, all dogs had normalization of total T4 by the 2-week recheck. Thus, in dogs where acute nonthyroidal illness is diagnosed, rechecking the total T4 two weeks after nonthyroidal illness resolution will result in an accurate assessment of thyroid hormone status.
