ÖZ Backround: The triglycerides-glucose index (TyG) is a simple indicator of insulin resistance. The TyG is independently associated with stroke occurrence. Previous studies have investigated the relationship between the TyG in stroke and hemodialysis patients.
Aim: There is no study investigating the relationship between stroke and TyG in hemodialysis patients. Therefore, we wanted to examine whether the TyG predicts stroke in hemodialysis
Methods: We retrostprctively analyzed 149 end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who had been on hemodialysis for more than six months were included. The patients were divided into groups, stroke, and non-stroke, according to their MR images and clinics. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors for stroke.
Results: The mean TyG value was 9.13 ± 0.74 and significantly higher in patients with stroke (p= 0.003). The number of patients with stroke was higher in the group above the median value (OR= 1.981, p= 0.039). In the bivariate correlation analysis, the TyG value was positively correlated with C-reactive protein and negatively associated with HDL. As a result of our multivariable analysis, age and TyG values were independent predictors of stroke.
Conclusion: The determination of the TyG index as an independent predictor for stroke in the regression analysis in our study proves that the TyG index is a helpful indicator for stroke in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
