Association of triglyceride-glucose index with coronary severity and mortality in patients on dialysis with coronary artery disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is validated as a reliable biomarker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of cardiovascular prognosis. However, the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients on dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) remained unexplored. This study aimed to determine the association between the TyG index and CAD severity and mortality in these patients.

Methods

A total of 1061 dialysis patients with CAD were enrolled in this multi-center cohort study from January 2015 to June 2021. The extent and severity of CAD were evaluated using the multivessel disease and Gensini score (GS). Patients were followed up for all-cause death and cardiovascular death.

Results

The multivariable logistic regression model indicated tha
