Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with the occurrence and prognosis of cardiac arrest: a multicenter retrospective observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an efficient indicator of insulin resistance and is proven to be a valuable marker in several cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between TyG index and cardiac arrest (CA) remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index with the occurrence and clinical outcomes of CA.

Methods

In this retrospective, multicenter, observational study, critically ill patients, including patients post-CA, were identified from the eICU Collaborative Research Database and evaluated. The TyG index for each patient was calculated using values of triglycerides and glucose recorded within 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission. In-hospital mortality and ICU mortality were the primary clinical out
