Triglyceride-glucose index and clinical outcomes in sepsis: A retrospective cohort study of MIMIC-IV.

ABSTRACT: Although accumulating researches were done for investigating the relationship between triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) and different diseases, none of the researches have been made in sepsis yet. In this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between TyG index and clinical outcomes in sepsis based on a large critical care public database. Sepsis patients in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) Database were included. The exposure was TyG index, which was calculated by the equation: ln (TG (mg/dL) × FBG (mg/dL)/2). The outcomes were in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality. The relationship between TyG index and outcomes was performed by Cox regression analysis. Smooth fitting curves were constructed by using generalized additive model. Kaplan-Meier analyse
