Triglyceride‐Glucose Index‐Based Nomogram for Predicting Short‐Term Mortality in Sepsis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, is associated with outcomes in critical illness; however, its predictive role for 28‐day mortality in Asian patients with sepsis has not been established. To address this, the current investigation was designed to evaluate its prognostic significance and to construct a risk ...
