Impact of the triglyceride-glucose index on 28-day mortality in non-diabetic critically Ill patients with sepsis: a retrospective cohort analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that poses a globally high mortality rate. Identifying risk factors is crucial. Insulin resistance and the TYG index, associated with metabolic disorders, may play a role. This study explores their correlation with mortality in non-diabetic septic patients.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study used data from the MIMIC-IV (version 2.1) database, which includes over 50,000 ICU admissions from 2008 to 2019 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. We included adult patients with sepsis who were admitted to the intensive care unit in the study. The primary outcome was to evaluate the ability of TYG to predict death at 28-day of hospital admission in patients with sepsis.

Results

The study included 2213 patien
