Association between triglyceride glucose-body mass index and all-cause mortality in patients with sepsis: Evidence from a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundSepsis remains a leading cause of mortality in critically ill patients, necessitating the identification of reliable prognostic markers. The triglyceride glucose-body mass index, which combines lipid and glucose metabolism, may serve as a valuable predictor of long-term outcomes in this population.MethodsThis study employed a retrospective observational cohort design and analyzed data from the MIMIC-IV database encompassing 2424 septic patients admitted between 2008 and 2019. Patients were categorized into quartiles based on triglyceride glucose-body mass index values. The primary outcomes assessed were all-cause mortality rates at 30, 90, and 180 days as well as 1-year post-admission, and analysis was performed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsIn total,
