Abstract Background The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, two simple surrogate indicators of insulin resistance, have been demonstrated predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, very few studies investigated their associations with CVD in European populations. Methods A total 403,335 participants from the UK Biobank data for TyG TG/HDL-C ratio free at baseline were included. Cox models applied evaluate association...

Clinically significant changes in neurological deficits frequently occur after stroke onset, reflecting further injury or improvement. However, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score is only evaluated once most studies, usually at onset. Utilizing repeated measures NIHSS scores to identify different trajectories function may be more informative and provide useful predictive information. We determined association with long-term clinical outcomes ischemic stroke.A total...
