    The study analyzed 1,722 acute ischemic stroke patients treated at Seoul National University Hospital from January 2010 to December 2016.

  • 2

    TyG-BMI was evaluated for its effect on 90-day poor outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients using binary logistic regression.

  • 3

    A nonlinear relationship was found between TyG-BMI and 90-day outcomes, with an inflection point at a TyG-BMI value of 193.59.

  • 4

    TyG-BMI values less than or equal to 193.59 indicated a negative association with 90-day unfavorable outcomes.

  • 5

    For TyG-BMI values exceeding 193.59, the effect on 90-day unfavorable outcomes was not statistically significant.
