Concordance between Triglyceride Glucose Index and Admission Insulin Resistance Index in Non-diabetic Subjects of Acute Coronary Syndrome

BACKGROUND: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the leading cause of death in the world and is closely related to insulin resistance (IR). The examination of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) Index and admission IR index (AIRI) can be an alternative examination to assess IR. AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze the concordance between the TyG index and AIRI in assessing IR in nondiabetic subjects of ACS. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional study using secondary data from ACS patient medical records in Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital Makassar from September 2020 until April 2021. An examination of RBG, TyG, and fasting insulin was performed. The statistical test results were considered significant if the p < 0.05. RESULTS: This study included 67 subjects, of which 54 were male and 13 were female, there were 24 people aged 9.06 indicated an 11-time greater risk for IR than subjects with a TyG index ≤9.06. CONCLUSIONS: There was a significant concordance between the TyG index and the AIRI in non-diabetic acute coronary syndrome patient.
