description BackgroundCurrently, the clinical evidence regarding the prognostic significance of the TyG index in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients remains unclear. Our research analyzed the correlation between the TyG index and the risk of mortality in patients with AMI, in order to evaluate the influence of the TyG index on the prognosis of this population.Methods1205 ICU patients with AMI were analyzed in this retrospective cohort analysis, and the necessary data were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. The study conducted Kaplan-Meier analysis to compare all-cause mortality rates across four groups of patients. The study included logistic regression and Cox regression analysis to examine the correlation among the TyG index and the risk of in-hospital, 28-day, and 90-day mortality.ResultsIn our study, 176 (14.61%) patients experienced in-hospital deaths, 198 (16.43%) patients died within 28 days of follow-up, and 189 (23.98%) patients died within 90 days of follow-up. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard analyses revealed that the TyG index was an independent predictor of in-hospital, 28-day, and 90-day mortality (OR: 1.406, 95% CI 1.141-1.731, p = 0.001; HR: 1.364, 95% CI 1.118-1.665, p = 0.002; HR: 1.221, 95% CI 1.024-1.445, p = 0.026, respectively). The restricted cubic spline regression model showed that the risk of in-hospital, 28-day, and 90-day mortality increased linearly with increasing TyG index.ConclusionsThe TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of mortality in AMI patients. Our findings suggested that the TyG index may be instrumental in identifying patients at high risk for adverse outcomes following AMI.
