Association between triglyceride-glucose index and 6-month readmission in patients with heart failure: a cohort study by Huibo Li, Yujie Jiang, Dong Zheng, Guixiong Lin, Yanling Feng, Yufeng Zhuo, Peng Zhang

“…BackgroundInsulin resistance (IR) significantly impacts outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients, by the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serving as an effective marker of metabolic dysfunction. However, its association with HF readmission risk is still uncertain.MethodsThis study analyzed 901 HF patients using multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic splines to evaluate the relationship between the TyG index and 6-month readmission risk.ResultsPatients in the lowest TyG quartile (Q1) had a significantly higher risk of 6-month readmission across models: Model 1 [odds ratio (OR) 1.72, 95% confidence interval [(CI) 1.16–2.53; p = 0.007], Model 2 (OR 1.83, 95% CI 1.23–2.72; p = 0.003), and Model 3 (OR 1.71, 95% CI 1.12–2.61; p = 0.012). …”
