Association between TyG index and long-term mortality of critically ill patients: a retrospective study based on the MIMIC Database.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index on admission with outcomes of critically ill patients.

Design

A retrospective study.

Setting

A population-based cohort study of Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III Database (MIMIC III).

Participants

All intensive care unit admissions were extracted from MIMIC III.

Main outcome measures

The TyG index was calculated as ln [triglycerides (mg/dL)×glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The primary endpoint was 360-day mortality.

Results

A total of 3902 patients with an average age of 63.1±15.9 years old were enrolled, including 1623 (41.6%) women. The 360-day mortality was lower in a higher TyG group. Compared with the lowest TyG group, the HR of 360-day mortality was 0.79 (95% CI (0.66
