    After 2 years, 19.73% of patients experienced major adverse cardiovascular events, with a significant link to the triglyceride-glucose index.

  • 3

    Each one-unit increase in the triglyceride-glucose index was associated with a 45.2% increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

  • 4

    Subgroup analysis confirmed the triglyceride-glucose index's consistent predictive performance across different patient groups.

  • 5

    Mendelian randomization analysis indicated a significant causal relationship between elevated triglyceride-glucose index and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
