Lost reference
[edit]The "Normal Reference Range Table from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas" citations (used in multiple places in the article) no longer exists. I searched the University's site, but couldn't find any such reference (either they removed it, or put it someplace which isn't searchable, etc). A brief web search also failed to find it or similar.

Jostel's TSH index is messed up
[edit]If you actually get Jostel's paper, there is a figure in which he gives worked examples. His equations do not reproduce the results in figure 1, which supposedly was calculated with them. Additionally, if you read points off an fT4 vs TSH relationship such as is given on Quest's website, or several research papers, Jostel's equations do not score these rationally.
There clearly is some sort of typographical error in the equations published by Jostel and there isn't enough data in the paper itself to figure out what the equations should be. There is however enough in figure 1 to be absolutely certain that the equations are wrong - and thus should not be included in Wikipedia until a correction is published with accurate equations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.212.35.109 (talk) 09:33, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
- There is not really an error in the table. What Jostel et al. report is the standardized, i.e. z-transformed form of the TSH index. You can easily check the data with SPINA Thyr, a free open source application, which, among others, calculates the TSHI, and you will see that the data are absolutely correct.--Jwdietrich2 (talk) 08:53, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
