Correlation between Triglyceride-Glucose Index and length of intensive care unit stay in sepsis

Aims: The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the impact of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index on mortality and length of stay in septic patients in a tertiary intensive care unit. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive cohort study diagnosed with sepsis. The study involved 208 patients. The primary aim was to assess the prognostic value of TyG for predicting mortality at 28 days following hospital admission in these patients. In addition, the study evaluated ICU all-cause mortality as a primary endpoint, with secondary endpoints encompassing the length of ICU stay. Results: The prognostic value of the TyG in predicting mortality among sepsis patients was assessed using ROC curve analysis. The analysis yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.798 (95% confidence interval: 0.729–0.867, p
