Does the addition of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index to the GRACE score improve the prediction of long-term MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI?
Incorporating the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index improves the ability of the GRACE score to stratify risk and predict long-term prognosis in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
The TyG index, but not FBG is an independent predictor of long-term MACEs after PCI in all types of ACS patients regardless of diabetes mellitus after adjusting for the GRACE score, and improves the ability of the GRACE score to stratify risk and predict prognosis of ACS patients undergoing PCI.
