Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with alcohol use disorder: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and clinical outcomes in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between TyG index and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AUD.

Methods

We used data from the multi-parameter intelligent monitoring in intensive care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. The patients were equally divided into quartiles. Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. The primary endpoint of the study was 28-day mortality, followed by 1-year mortality. We used Cox proportional hazard models to assess the relationship between TyG index and all-cause mortality at different endpoints.

Results

A total of 537 AUD patients were included. Using TyG value
