Triglyceride-glucose index and stroke recurrence in elderly patients with ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

This study aimed to explore the association between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and stroke recurrence in elderly patients with ischemic stroke in China.

Methods

We enrolled ischemic stroke patients aged ≥ 65 years from the Nanjing Stroke Registry Program. The primary endpoint was defined as recurrent stroke within one year after the index stroke. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models to investigate the association between TyG index and stroke recurrence. We assessed the discriminative ability of TyG index with the receiver operative characteristic and the area under the curve.

Results

A total of 955 patients (median age, 70.0 [67.0, 75.0]; male sex, 67.2%) from the Nanjing Stroke Registry Program were enrolled. Du
