Impact of the Triglyceride-Glucose Index on Prognosis Following Endovascular Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Effect Modification by Collateral Circulation

1

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an independent risk factor for poor functional outcomes after endovascular therapy in acute ischemic stroke patients.
2

A total of 209 patients were analyzed, with 30.6% experiencing poor functional outcomes defined by a modified Rankin Scale score greater than 2.
3

The TyG index was significantly higher in patients with poor functional outcomes, alongside differences in sex, NIHSS score, and collateral circulation.
4

Collateral circulation significantly modifies the association between the TyG index and clinical outcomes, particularly in patients with poor collateral status.
5

The combined risk assessment model incorporating the TyG index demonstrated good predictive performance for poor outcomes at 90 days post-therapy.
