The association between the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetic foot: A retrospective cohort study

Key Points

• Cardiovascular mortality was significantly associated with higher triglyceride-glucose index levels in patients with diabetic foot.
• A strong correlation was noted, with patients having elevated triglyceride-glucose index showing increased mortality rates.
• Retrospective cohort analysis assessed the impact of the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
• These findings highlight the need for better monitoring of the triglyceride-glucose index in diabetic foot patients.
