Abstract
Background
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker for insulin resistance, has been linked to adverse cardiac outcomes. Its role in predicting mortality following cardiac surgery remains unclear.
Methods
This study analyzed 1,810 cardiac surgery patients from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database, categorized by TyG index levels. Mortality was the primary outcome, assessed through Cox proportional hazards regression, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, and restricted cubic splines.
Results
Over a 13-year follow-up, 83 patients died. Higher TyG index levels were associated with increased mortality risk (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.206, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.121–1.297, p < 0.001). Time-dependent ROC analysis showed areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.914, 0.857, and 0.801 at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The TyG index-based model outperformed established scoring systems in predicting mortality.
Conclusions
Elevated TyG index levels are significantly associated with higher mortality risk after cardiac surgery, highlighting its potential as a prognostic marker in this population.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
