Triglyceride-glucose index in the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in patients without diabetes mellitus after coronary artery bypass grafting: a multicenter retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been evaluated as a reliable surrogate for insulin resistance (IR) and has been proven to be a predictor of poor outcomes in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, data are lacking on the relationship of the TyG index with prognosis in nondiabetic patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Thus, the purpose of our current study was to investigate the potential value of the TyG index as a prognostic indicator in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) after CABG.

Methods

This multicenter, retrospective cohort study involving 830 nondiabetic patients after CABG from 3 tertiary public hospitals from 2014 to 2018. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis was conducted followed by the log-rank test. Cox
