While advances in stroke management have improved outcomes, predicting mortality remains challenging due to the involvement of complex metabolic and cardiovascular factors. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker for insulin resistance, has gained attention for its potential to predict adverse outcomes in stroke patients. Furthermore, the TyG-BMI index, which combines TyG with body mass index (BMI), may offer a more comprehensive measure by accounting for obesity-related metabolic burden. However, the comparative impact of these indices on short- and long-term mortality among critically ill ischemic stroke patients remains unclear.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV 3.0) database, including 1,334 critically ill ischemic stroke patients.

Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the association of these indices with 30-day, 90-day, 180-day, and 1-year all-cause mortality (ACM). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare survival rates across different index levels. We utilized restricted cubic splines (RCS) to examine the association between the TyG, TyG-BMI index and the specified outcomes.

The RCS analysis results demonstrated that the TyG index did not exhibit a statistically significant nonlinear relationship with mortality across all time points. However, a significant nonlinear relationship was observed between the TyG index and long-term mortality. From the ROC curve, it can be observed that TyG performs better in predicting short-term mortality. Conversely, TyG-BMI demonstrates superior performance in predicting long-term mortality.
