ÇKÇağlar KayaTrakya University CÖCihan ÖztürkTrakya University

Key Result

CTI values independently predict in-hospital mortality and are significantly associated with 1-year mortality in patients with decompensated heart failure.

Key Points

The study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of the CRP-TyG index in predicting mortality in patients with decompensated heart failure.
Monitored CTI values in patients admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU)
Analyzed associations between CTI levels and in-hospital as well as 1-year mortality
Utilized statistical methods for risk assessment
CTI values predict in-hospital mortality independently
Significant association between CTI values and 1-year mortality
CTI serves as a practical tool for early risk assessment in intensive care settings

Structured PICO

Does the CRP-TyG index predict in-hospital and 1-year mortality in patients with decompensated heart failure?

Population

170 adults (≥18 years) admitted to the coronary intensive care unit with decompensated heart failure (DHF). Excluded: admission with acute coronary syndrome, primary arrhythmic presentation, non-cardiac critical illness, pregnancy/breastfeeding.

Intervention

CRP-TyG index (CTI) assessment at admission

Outcome

In-hospital all-cause mortalityhard clinical

The CRP-TyG index is a practical, accessible bedside marker that independently predicts short- and mid-term mortality in patients admitted to the CCU with decompensated heart failure.

Main Result

Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%

Abstract

Admission CTI values independently predict in-hospital mortality in CCU patients with DHF and are also significantly associated with 1-year mortality. With its simple and accessible components, CTI may serve as a practical parameter for early risk assessment in the intensive care setting.
