Description
A metabolic index predicts who recovers poorly after stroke thrombectomy, especially when backup blood flow is weak, Yishu Wang and colleagues find in a 2026 hospital study. Records of 209 patients treated with endovascular therapy between 2022 and 2025 supplied triglyceride-glucose index values, imaging of collateral vessels, and ninety-day function scores. Sixty-four patients ended with poor outcomes.
The index independently nearly doubled the odds of a poor result per unit rise. Its bite concentrated in patients with poor collateral circulation, a significant interaction. Adding the index to clinical variables lifted the model's discrimination to an area under the curve of 0.834. Cheap admission labs, the authors argue, can flag high-risk recoveries early.
