Association between the triglyceride-glucose index and mortality in critically ill patients: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To further identify the association of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index with the risk of mortality among critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Methods

The PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were searched for relevant studies up to February 2, 2024. The primary outcomes were in-hospital mortality and ICU mortality. The secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality, 90-day mortality, and 1-year mortality. The hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined to evaluate the associations between the TyG index and the above endpoints. All the statistical analyses were performed with STATA 15.0 software.

Results

Ten studies involving 22,694 patients were included. The pooled results demonstrated that an e
