Associations of triglyceride glucose-body mass index with short-term mortality in critically ill patients with ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been established as a convenient and reliable marker for assessing insulin resistance (IR) and has been shown to be significantly correlated with stroke. However, only a few studies have been conducted in this field, with conflicting conclusions.

Methods

This study based on the eICU database, investigated the association between TyG-BMI and 28-day mortality in critically ill ischemic stroke (IS) patients. Multivariate Cox regression models were employed to analyze the impacts of the TyG-BMI on 28-day hospital and ICU mortality. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were applied to explore the nonlinear relationship between the TyG-BMI and 28-day mortality. K‒M curves were utilized for outcome comparisons among differ
