Triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients undergoing PCI by Shangxun Zhou, Miaohan Qiu, Kexin Wang, Jing Li, Yi Li, Yaling Han

“…Patients in the high quartile TG/HDL-C category demonstrated significantly higher risks for MACE compared to those in the low quartile category, with hazard ratio (HR) [95%confidence interval (CI)] of 1.46 (1.17–1.83); conversely, they showed significantly lower risks for all-cause bleeding compared to their counterparts in the low quartile group, with HR (95%CI) of 0.72 (0.65–0.81). The structure of subgroup analyses remained robust and consistent, with gender being the sole factor interacting with TG/HDL-C specifically in relation to MACE events (P for interaction = 0.037). …”
