Predictive Value of Triglyceride-Glucose Index for All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus: A Retrospective Study: TyG Index and Mortality in Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the associations between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and mortality from all causes and cardiovascular causes in diabetic population. Methods: 3349 participants with diabetes mellitus (DM) from the 1999-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES), aged 18-85 years were included and grouped based on the TyG index in quintiles. Mortality was followed up through December 31^th, 2015. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). We clarified the shape of association between TyG index and mortality using restricted cubic splines and piecewise linear regression. Results: After a median follow-up period of 82 months, 800 (23.9%) deaths occurred, of whic
