Association between triglyceride glucose-body mass and one-year all-cause mortality of patients with heart failure: a retrospective study utilizing the MIMIC-IV database
Authors' conclusion
In patients diagnosed with HF, a lower TyG-BMI index is strongly related to a higher risk of 360-day mortality. This index can be employed to categorize the risk levels of patients with HF and predict their one-year all-cause mortality .
Study context
- Population
- Patients with heart failure (HF) in the MIMIC-IV database; 59.2% male
- Participants
- 423 patients
- Exposure
- TyG-BMI index quartiles; highest vs lowest quartile
- Outcome
- 360-day all-cause mortality
- Follow-up
- 360 days
Methodological detailsMIMIC-IV database, TyG-BMI quartiles
- MIMIC-IV database
- TyG-BMI quartiles
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Died within 360 days (all patients)
- 70 (16.9%)
- Higher TyG-BMI indexes had significantly lower mortality risk (Kaplan-Meier, log-rank)
- P = 0.003
- Fully adjusted Cox HR for 360-day mortality, in comparison to the lowest TyG-BMI group
- HR 0.24 (95% CI: 0.10, 0.59; p = 0.002)
