Journal Article
The impact of triglyceride-glucose index on ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
2023
Overview
Background
Strokes significantly impair quality of life and incur high economic and societal burdens. The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index is a biochemical marker of insulin resistance (IR) and may have important value in the prediction of strokes, especially ischemic stroke (IS). Our study aims to investigate the relationship between TyG index and IS and ascertain whether TyG index is independently associated with IS adverse outcomes.
Methods
The Cochrane, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, PubMed, and other relevant English databases and related websites were systematically searched for articles on ‘‘TyG index’’ and \"stroke\" published from inception to April 4, 2022. We reviewed the available literature on the TyG index and its relation to predicting IS occurrence in the general population and adverse clinical outcomes. We calculated odds ratios (OR) of TyG index and its predictability of IS occurrence and adverse outcomes. Statistical analyses were performed using the Meta Package in STATA, version 12.0.
Results
A total of 18 studies and 592,635 patients were included in our analysis. The pooled effect values of all stroke types showed that higher TyG index was associated with increased the risk of IS in the general population (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.22–1.54) in a total sample of 554,334 cases with a high level of heterogeneity (P = 0.000,

= 74.10%). In addition, compared to IS patients with a lower TyG index, IS patients with a higher TyG index was associated with higher risk of stroke recurrence (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.19–1.89) and increased risk of mortality (OR 1.40 95% CI 1.14–1.71). No correlation was found in the effect value combinations of poor functional outcomes (OR 1.12; 95% CI 0.88–1.43) and neurological worsening (OR: 1.76; 95% CI 0.79–3.95) in a total sample of 38,301 cases with a high level of heterogeneity (P = 0.000;

= 77.20%).
Conclusions
TyG index has potential value in optimizing risk stratification for IS in the general population. Furthermore, there is a significant association between high TyG index and many adverse outcomes of stroke, especially stroke recurrence and high mortality. Future studies should focus on multi-center and multi-regional designs in order to further explore the relationship between IS and TyG index.
