Abstract
AIMS: We aimed to examine the association between the Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients with drug-eluting stents (DESs). METHODS: From July 2009 to August 2011, 2533 patients who underwent at least one PCI with DESs were enrolled to determine the relationship between the TyG index and MACCEs with a 29.8-month follow-up. In addition, the Logistic regression proportional hazard model was applied to assess the prognostic value of the TyG index. RESULTS: The MACCEs was associated with, history of heart failure (p = 0.049), third degree AVB (p = 0.008) and stroke (p = 0.033), SBP (p < 0.001), DBP (p = 0.001), number of diseased vessels, location of target lesions, characteristics of lesion, number of treated vessels, number of stents, length of stents (p = 0.003) and stent diameter (p < 0.001). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that the TyG index was an independent prognostic factor for MACCEs in female patients (OR = 1.68, 95 %CI = 1.12-2.54, p = 0.013) but not in male (OR = 0.95, 95 %CI = 0.74-1.21, p = 0.657). CONCLUSION: The TyG index was independently associated with MACCEs in female patients undergoing PCI with DESs, but not in men.
