Modest elevation of the free-thyroxine index occurs in many apparently euthyroid elderly in-patients. The present study investigated the possible relevance of drug side-effects to this problem. It appears that such side-effects associated with the use of L-Dopa, digoxin and co-trimoxazole account for a substantial proportion of the observed elevated free-thyroxine index results.
许多明显甲状腺功能正常的老年住院患者的游离甲状腺素指数会有适度升高。本研究调查了药物副作用与该问题之间可能存在的关联。看来，与使用左旋多巴、地高辛和复方新诺明相关的此类副作用在观察到的游离甲状腺素指数升高结果中占了很大比例。
