The association between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and all-cause mortality in critically ill patients undergoing cardiac surgery: a retrospective analysis from the MIMIC-IV database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several studies have indicated that several million cardiac surgeries are performed worldwide each year. Recognized for reflecting insulin resistance, the triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) index has been demonstrated a strong association with the incidence of cardiovascular events. Although the TyG-BMI index has been extensively investigated in the context of metabolic disorders, its prognostic value in patients undergoing cardiac surgery remains insufficiently defined. The study investigated whether TyG-BMI at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission predicts all-cause mortality in critically ill post-cardiac surgery patients.

Method

Patient records of individuals who had undergone cardiac surgery were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intens
