Predictive effect of triglyceride-glucose index on clinical events in patients with acute ischemic stroke and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was significantly related to clinical outcome in patients with cardiovascular disease (CAD) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD). We aim to investigate the association between TyG index and clinical prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (IS) patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

Among 19,604 patients with acute IS admitted to the China National Stroke Registry II (CNSRII), 3359 IS patients with T2DM were included in the cross-sectional analysis. The TyG index (calculated by ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]) was split into four quartiles. The outcomes included recurrent IS, all-cause death and poor outcome at 1 year were analyzed. The association between the TyG index and adverse cerebrov
