Association of triglyceride glucose index with mortality in critically ill patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: analysis of the MIMIC-IV database
In critically ill patients with ASCVD, higher TyG index was associated with adverse outcomes, including increased mortality and earlier initiation of organ-supportive interventions. These findings suggest that TyG could serve as a practical biomarker for early risk stratification in this high-risk population, though prospective studies are warranted to confirm its clinical utility.
