METS-IR as an important predictor of neurological impairment severity in patients with severe cerebral infarction: a multicenter study based on the Chinese population. Front Neurol 2024; 15:1450825. [PMID: 39385817 PMCID: PMC11461195 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2024.1450825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is linked to an increased risk of neurological impairment following a stroke and may contribute to poor neurological prognosis in affected patients. The metabolic score for the insulin resistance index, shortened as the METS-IR, generally serves as a surrogate index for IR. However, its association with the severity of neurological impairment in patients with severe cerebral infarction (CI) in neurological intensive care units (ICU) has not been fully established. Methods Patients with a diagnosis of CI, admitted to the neurological ICUs of Yangzhou University's Affiliated Hospital and Xuzhou Medical University's Affiliated Hospital, were included in the study. A multivariate logistic regression model and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to explore the relationship between the METS-IR index and the severity of neurological impairment in these patients. The predictive capabilities of the METS-IR index and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index for outcome measures were compared through the ROC curve. Furthermore, a decision curve analysis was executed, and the integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index was computed to evaluate the enhancements in predictive performance and clinical utility of various scoring systems with the inclusion of the METS-IR index. Subgroup analysis was conducted regarding age, BMI, and smoking status. Results The study ultimately included 504 participants. Adjusted logistic regression and RCS results showed that as the METS-IR index increases, the risk of neurological impairment in patients with severe CI consistently grows (P for overall = 0.0146, P-nonlinear: 0.0689). The METS-IR index's predictive capability for neurological impairment (AUC = 0.669) was superior to that of the TyG index (AUC = 0.519). Conclusion From the study results, the METS-IR index can serve as an important predictor for neurological impairment in ICU patients with severe CI. It can aid in the identification and early intervention of neurological impairment in these patients.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:411. [PMID: 39118024 PMCID: PMC11308650 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-04091-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS To assess the correlation between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP) and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals with diabetes. METHODS A total of 1,555 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were enrolled in this cross-sectional study after excluding individuals without diabetes and those who lacked data on Hs-CRP, diabetes and CVD. All participants were divided into four groups based on quartiles of Hs-CRP: Q1 (≤ 1.20 mg/L), Q2 (1.20-2.86 mg/L), Q3 (2.86-6.40 mg/L), and Q4 (> 6.40 mg/L). Logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between Hs-CRP and the prevalence of CVD in individuals with diabetes. RESULTS In univariate logistic regression analysis, a higher level of Hs-CRP was associated with a higher prevalence of CVD (P < 0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for confounders, the correlation between Hs-CRP and the prevalence of CVD remained significant (Q3 vs. Q1, OR: 1.505, 95% CI: 1.056-2.147, P = 0.024; Q4 vs. Q1, OR: 1.711, 95% CI: 1.171-2.499, P = 0.006; log10(Hs-CRP), OR: 1.504, 95% CI: 1.168-1.935, P = 0.002). Further subgroup analysis showed that a higher Hs-CRP was independently associated with a higher prevalence of CVD in the < 60 years, male, non-hypertension and non-hypercholesterolemia subgroups (P < 0.05). Additionally, RCS analysis revealed a linear positive correlation between Hs-CRP and CVD prevalence (P for nonlinearity = 0.244). CONCLUSION A higher level of Hs-CRP was closely related to a higher prevalence of CVD in people with diabetes.

Association between metabolic score for insulin resistance and clinical outcomes: insights from the Tehran lipid and glucose study. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:34. [PMID: 38867289 PMCID: PMC11167787 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-024-00808-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the relationship between Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) and the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, mortality, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a population from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. METHOD Individuals aged ≥ 20 years were enrolled. Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to assess the association between METS-IR and incident CHD, stroke, all-cause mortality, diabetes, hypertension, and CKD. RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 9-18 years, 1080 (10.6%), 267 (2.6%), 1022 (9.6%), 1382 (16.4%), 2994 (58.5%), and 2002 (23.0%) CHD, stroke, all-cause mortality, diabetes, hypertension, and CKD events occurred, respectively. Compared to the lowest quartile (reference), the hazard ratios (HR) associated with the highest quartile of METS-IR were 1.527 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.208-1.930, P for trend 0.001), 1.393 (0.865-2.243, > 0.05), 0.841 (0.682-1.038, > 0.05), 3.277 (2.645-4.060, < 0.001), 1.969 (1.752-2.214, < 0.001), and 1.020 (0.874-1.191, > 0.05) for CHD, stroke, all-cause mortality, diabetes, hypertension, and CKD, respectively. METS-IR, as a continuous variable, was significantly associated with the risk of incident CHD [HR, 95% CI: 1.106, 1.034-1.184], diabetes [1.524, 1.438-1.616], and hypertension [1.321, 1.265-1.380]. These associations were also independent of metabolic syndrome (METS) and remained unchanged in a subgroup of individuals without METS and/or diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Increasing levels of METS-IR were significantly associated with a greater risk of incident CHD, diabetes, and hypertension; therefore, this index can be a useful tool for capturing the risk of these clinical outcomes.

Association of non-insulin-based insulin resistance indices with disease severity and adverse outcome in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension: a multi-center cohort study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:154. [PMID: 38702735 PMCID: PMC11069206 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02236-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have shown that diabetes mellitus and impaired lipid metabolism are associated with the severity and prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). However, the relationship between IR and pulmonary hypertension is poorly understood. This study explored the association between four IR indices and IPAH using data from a multicenter cohort. METHODS A total of 602 consecutive participants with IPAH were included in this study between January 2015 and December 2022. The metabolic score for IR (METS-IR), triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index, and triglyceride-glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) were used to quantify IR levels in patients with IPAH. The correlation between non-insulin-based IR indices and long-term adverse outcomes was determined using multivariate Cox regression models and restricted cubic splines. RESULTS During a mean of 3.6 years' follow-up, 214 participants experienced all-cause death or worsening condition. Compared with in low to intermediate-low risk patients, the TG/HDL-C ratio (2.9 ± 1.7 vs. 3.3 ± 2.1, P = 0.003) and METS-IR (34.5 ± 6.7 vs. 36.4 ± 7.5, P < 0.001) were significantly increased in high to intermediate-high risk patients. IR indices correlated with well-validated variables that reflected the severity of IPAH, such as the cardiac index and stroke volume index. Multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that the TyG-BMI index (hazard ratio [HR] 1.179, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.020, 1.363 per 1.0-standard deviation [SD] increment, P = 0.026) and METS-IR (HR 1.169, 95% CI 1.016, 1.345 per 1.0-SD increment, P = 0.030) independently predicted adverse outcomes. Addition of the TG/HDL-C ratio and METS-IR significantly improved the reclassification and discrimination ability beyond the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) risk score. CONCLUSIONS IR is associated with the severity and long-term prognosis of IPAH. TyG-BMI and METS-IR can independently predict clinical worsening events, while METS-IR also provide incremental predictive performance beyond the ESC risk stratification.

Abstract
Obesity is a multifactorial chronic disease characterized by an excess of adipose tissue, affecting people of all ages. In the last 40 years, the incidence of overweight and obesity almost tripled worldwide. The accumulation of "visceral" adipose tissue increases with aging, leading to several cardio-metabolic consequences: from increased blood pressure to overt arterial hypertension, from insulin-resistance to overt type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and obstructive sleep apnea. The increasing use of innovative drugs, namely glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i), is changing the management of obesity and its related cardiovascular complications significantly. These drugs, first considered only for T2DM treatment, are now used in overweight patients with visceral adiposity or obese patients, as obesity is no longer just a risk factor but a critical condition at the basis of common metabolic, cardiovascular, and renal diseases. An adipocentric vision and approach should become the cornerstone of visceral overweight and obesity integrated management and treatment, reducing and avoiding the onset of obesity-related multiple risk factors and their clinical complications. According to recent progress in basic and clinical research on adiposity, this narrative review aims to contribute to a novel clinical approach focusing on pathophysiological and therapeutic insights.

Abstract
Importance Little is known about the relationship between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and the prognosis of hypertensive patients in China. Objective To investigate the association between the novel non-insulin-based METS-IR index and the cardiovascular composite endpoints and all-cause mortality in Chinese hypertensive participants. Design setting and participants This cohort study used data from the China H-Type Hypertension Project, a long-term prospective cohort consisting of 14234 hypertensive patients in southern China, with a baseline from March to August 2018. The median follow-up period for participants was 3.94 years, as of 2022. The data analysis period is from July 2023 to September 2023. Exposures METS-IR index of participants in the Chinese H-type hypertension project. The calculation formula for METS-IR is (Ln (2 × FPG) +TG) × BMI/Ln (HDL-C). Main outcomes and measures Cardiovascular events and cardiovascular, all-cause mortality were identified by linking the cohort database with the health care system through October, 2023. Results A total of 14220 participants were included in this study. The prevalence rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD), cardiovascular death, and all-cause death were 2.59% (369/14220), 2.79% (397/14220), and 5.66% (805/14220), respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors in the multivariate logistic regression analysis models, the METS-IR index was significantly positively correlated with CVD, and cardiovascular, all-cause mortality, whether as a categorical or continuous variable. Layered analysis showed that the METS-IR index of hypertensive participants in different subgroups was positively correlated with the endpoint event. Conclusions and relevance This large, prospective cohort study demonstrated that the METS-IR index, a new IR evaluation index, were independently associated with a higher risk of the cardiovascular composite endpoint and all-cause mortality among Chinese hypertensive population. Importantly, our finding provides an independent indicator for evaluating the prognosis of hypertensive patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The TyG index, a prominent metric for assessing insulin resistance, has gained traction as a prognostic tool for cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, the understanding of the prognostic significance of the extent of coronary artery stenosis in individuals afflicted with H-type hypertension remains limited. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted at Wuhan Third Hospital, including a cohort of 320 inpatients who were diagnosed with hypertension in combination with coronary artery disease. The study period spanned from January 1, 2021, to February 1, 2023. The study cohort was stratified based on the severity of stenosis into three distinct groups: low stenosis, medium stenosis, and high stenosis, as determined by the Gensini score derived from coronary angiography findings. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the severity of coronary stenosis and the number of lesion branches, utilizing the TyG index as a testing indicator. The predictive ability of TyG for coronary lesion severity was assessed using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The results of our study indicate a positive correlation between elevated levels of TyG and an increased susceptibility to severe stenosis in individuals diagnosed with H-type hypertension. Upon careful consideration of potential confounding variables, it has been observed that the TyG index exhibits a robust association with the likelihood of severe stenosis in individuals with H-type hypertension (odds ratio [OR] = 4000, 95% confidence interval CI 2.411-6.635, p = 0.0001), as well as the prevalence of multivessel disease (OR = 1.862, 95% CI 1.036-3.348, p < 0.0001). The TyG index demonstrated superior predictive ability for severe coronary stenosis in patients with H-type hypertension compared to those without H-type hypertension (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.888, 95% confidence interval CI 0.838-0.939, p < 0.0001, versus AUC = 0.615, 95% CI 0.494-0.737, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The TyG index is an independent risk factor for the degree of coronary stenosis and a better predictor in patients with H-type hypertension combined with coronary artery disease.

Impact of the baseline insulin resistance surrogates and their longitudinal trajectories on cardiovascular disease (coronary heart disease and stroke): a prospective cohort study in rural China. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1259062. [PMID: 38189050 PMCID: PMC10767254 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1259062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to assess the association of baseline insulin resistance (IR) surrogates and their longitudinal trajectories with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) to provide a useful reference for preventing CVD. Methods This study was a prospective cohort study conducted in the 51st Regiment of the Third Division of Xinjiang Corps. A total of 6362 participants were recruited in 2016 to conduct the baseline survey, and the follow-up surveys in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of CVD according to the baseline IR surrogates of metabolic insulin resistance score (METS-IR) and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. Cox regression models were used to assess the association between the baseline IR surrogates and CVD. The impact of the longitudinal trajectories of the IR surrogates on CVD was analyzed after excluding those with IR surrogate data measured ≤2 times. Based on the group-based trajectory model (GBTM), the trajectory patterns of IR surrogates were determined. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the cumulative incidence of CVD in each trajectory group of METS-IR and TyG index. Cox regression models were used to analyze the association between different trajectory groups of each index and CVD. In addition, the Framingham model was utilized to evaluate whether the addition of the baseline IR surrogates increased the predictive potential of the model. Results Baseline data analysis included 4712 participants. During a median follow-up of 5.66 years, 572 CVD events were recorded (mean age, 39.42 ± 13.67 years; males, 42.9%). The cumulative CVD incidence increased with the ascending baseline METS-IR and TyG index quartiles (Q1-Q4). The hazard ratio and 95% confidence interval for CVD risk in Q4 of the METS-IR and TyG index were 1.79 (1.25, 2.58) and 1.66 (1.28, 2.17), respectively, when compared with Q1. 4343 participants were included in the trajectory analysis, based on the longitudinal change patterns of the METS-IR and TyG index, the following three trajectory groups were identified: low-increasing, moderate-stable, and elevated-increasing groups. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for CVD risk in the elevated-increasing trajectory group of the METS-IR and TyG index was 2.13 (1.48, 3.06) and 2.63 (1.68, 4.13), respectively, when compared with the low-rising group. The C-index, integrated discrimination improvement value, and net reclassification improvement value were enhanced after adding the baseline METS-IR and TyG index values to the Framingham model (P<0.05). Conclusions Elevated baseline IR surrogates and their higher long-term trajectories were strongly associated with a high risk of CVD incidence in Xinjiang's rural areas. Regular METS-IR and TyG index monitoring can aid in the early detection of CVD-risk groups.

The association between the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) index and urinary incontinence in the United States: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2018. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:248. [PMID: 38041100 PMCID: PMC10693039 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01226-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between insulin resistance and urinary incontinence (UI) has not been investigated widely. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between a novel indicator for assessing insulin resistance the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) index and urinary incontinence (UI). METHODS This study utilized data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2018. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to explore the association of METS-IR index with three types of UI [stress UI (SUI), urgency UI (UUI), and mixed UI (MUI)]. Smooth curve fitting was utilized to investigate the linear relationship. Subgroup analysis was used to examine the stability of the connection between METS-IR index and UI in different stratifications. RESULTS A total of 17,474 participants were included in this study, of whom 23.76% had SUI, 20.05% had UUI, and 9.59% had MUI. METS-IR index was positively associated with three types of UI with full adjustment [SUI: odds ratio (OR) = 1.023, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.019-1.027; UUI: OR = 1.015, 95% CI 1.011-1.019; MUI: OR = 1.020, 95% CI 1.016-1.025, all p < 0.001]. After transferring METS-IR index into a categorical variable by quartiles, the positive connection between METS-IR index and UI was still observed in the highest METS-IR group compared to the lowest METS-IR interval (SUI: OR = 2.266, 95% CI 1.947-2.637, p < 0.001; UUI: OR = 1.534, 95% CI 1.344-1.750, p < 0.001; MUI: OR = 2.044, 95% CI 1.707-2.448, p < 0.001). The analysis of smooth curves fitting showed that METS-IR index was positively linearly related to three types of UI. Moreover, the association between METS-IR index and SUI was more significant in females compared to males (p for interaction < 0.05). CONCLUSION An elevated METS-IR index was related to increased risks of three types of UI (SUI, UUI, and MUI) in the United States population. METS-IR index was more significantly connected to SUI in females than males. The association between insulin resistance and UI needs to be explored with more studies.

Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR), a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, has garnered significant attention in scientific research. Several studies have investigated the correlation between IR and coronary artery calcification (CAC), yielding varying results. In light of this, we conducted a systematic review to investigate the association between IR as evaluated by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) and CAC. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted to identify relevant studies in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. In addition, preprint servers such as Research Square, BioRxiv, and MedRxiv were manually searched. The collected data were analyzed using either fixed or random effects models, depending on the heterogeneity observed among the studies. The assessment of the body of evidence was performed using the GRADE approach to determine its quality. Results The current research incorporated 15 studies with 60,649 subjects. The analysis revealed that a higher category of HOMA-IR was associated with a greater prevalence of CAC in comparison to the lowest HOMA-IR category, with an OR of 1.13 (95% CI: 1.06-1.20, I2 = 29%, P < 0.001). A similar result was reached when HOMA-IR was analyzed as a continuous variable (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.14-1.41, I2 = 54%, P < 0.001). In terms of CAC progression, a pooled analysis of two cohort studies disclosed a significant association between increased HOMA-IR levels and CAC progression, with an OR of 1.44 (95% CI: 1.04-2.01, I2 = 21%, P < 0.05). It is important to note that the strength of the evidence was rated as low for the prevalence of CAC and very low for the progression of CAC. Conclusion There is evidence to suggest that a relatively high HOMA-IR may be linked with an increased prevalence and progression of CAC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Insulin resistance (IR) is a significant metabolic disturbance that plays a pivotal role in various health conditions, including hypothyroidism. Homeostatic Model Assessment For Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) is widely used for assessing IR. However, alternative indices, such as the Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR), have been developed for diverse applications. This study aimed to meticulously investigate IR in patients with hypothyroidism and to compare the effectiveness of METS-IR with HOMA-IR. To enrich our analyses, additional metrics, including the Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) Index, the Triglyceride to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio (TG/HDL-C), and the Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) have been incorporated. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 260 non-diabetic adults, 130 with hypothyroidism (case group), and 130 healthy volunteers (control group). Parameters, including Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin levels, and lipid profiles, were measured. IR indices were calculated. RESULTS The groups were matched for age and gender (p = .143; p = .099). The case group demonstrated a notably elevated mean METS-IR of 195.58, in contrast to the control group's mean METS-IR of 131.10 (p = .044). The mean HOMA-IR was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group, with average of 2.00 and 1.81, respectively (p = .027). METS-IR was positively correlated with TyG (r = 0.505, p = .001) and TG/HDL-C (r = 0.844, p = .001). Meanwhile, the relationships between METS-IR, HOMA-IR, and QUICKI were significant at r = 0.194 (p = .027) and r = .210 (p = .016), respectively. METS-IR was significantly higher in patients with overt hypothyroidism (p = .016). CONCLUSION This study emphasizes the efficacy of METS-IR as a diagnostic tool for IR in patients with hypothyroidism, establishing it as a proficient alternative to HOMA-IR. These findings were substantiated by the correlations observed with the TyG, TG/HDL-C, and QUICKI measurements. Variations in METS-IR between individuals with subclinical and overt hypothyroidism accentuate its effectiveness in identifying metabolic abnormalities in hypothyroid conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Insulin resistance is associated with clinical outcomes among patients with ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the association between metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) and clinical outcomes in stroke patients treated by intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). METHODS We recruited participants treated with IVT from a prospective registry including 3 stroke centers. Poor outcome was defined as a modified Rankin scale score ≥ 3 points at 90 days after the index stroke. We performed logistic regression models to investigate the association between METS-IR and the risk of poor outcome. We used the receiver operative characteristic to assess the discriminative ability and the restricted cubic spline to explore the relationship between METS-IR and the poor outcome. RESULTS This study enrolled a total of 1074 patients (median age, 68; 63.8% male). Three hundred sixty (33.5%) patients had poor outcome after IVT. METS-IR was associated with the risk of the poor outcome with the increase of confounding factors in models (odds ratio [OR], 1.078; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.058-1.099; P < 0.001). The area under the curve for METS-IR for predicting the poor outcome was 0.790 (95% CI, 0.761-0.819). The restricted cubic spline revealed an increasing and non-linear association between METS-IR and the poor outcome (P for non-linearity < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study found that METS-IR was associated with an increased risk of poor outcome after IVT. Further studies are warranted to investigate the efficacy of anti-diabetic agents regarding IR on clinical outcomes after IVT.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health concern, with a significant impact on morbidity and mortality rates. Using fasting glucose, fasting triglycerides, body mass index (BMI), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the metabolic score of insulin resistance (Mets-IR), a novel index created by Mexican researchers to assess insulin sensitivity, is a more precise way to measure insulin sensitivity. This study aimes to explore the association between Mets-IR and CVD, as well as investigate the potential mediating role of of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Methods The study's data came from the 2011 and 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Studies (CHARLS). We used three logistic regression models to account for the potential effects of ten factors on cardiovascular disease/stroke/heart disease. Moreover, We performed mediation analyses to evaluate the role of LDL-C in the association between Mets-IR and incident CVD. Results This study comprised 4,540 participants, of whom 494 (10.88%) were found to develop disease (CVD). Each interquartile range (IQR) increased in Mets-IR raised the risk of developing CVD by 38% (OR=1.38; 95% CI, 1.21-1.56) and there was a linear dose-response relationship between Mets-IR and the risk of new-onset cardiovascular disease, stroke, and heart disease (P overall<0.05, P non-linear>0.05). Approximately 5% (indirect effect/total effect) of the significant association of Mets-IR with stroke was mediated by LDL-C, respectively. With the addition of Mets-IR to the base model, the continuous net reclassification improvement and integrated discrimination improvement for predicting cardiovascular disease increased by 0.175 (P <0.001) and 0.006 (P <0.001), respectively. Conclusion ets-IR is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease/stroke/cardiac issues, with LDL-C mediating these relationships. Improving insulin sensitivity and lipid regulation may be essential and effective preventive measures for cardiovascular events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) is a simple, convenient, and reliable marker for resistance insulin (IR), which has been regarded as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cardiovascular events. However, few studies examined the relationship between METS-IR and prognosis after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). This study aimed to investigate the potential value of METS-IR as a prognostic indicator for the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients after CABG. METHOD 1100 CABG patients were enrolled in the study, including 760 men (69.1%) and 340 women (30.9%). The METS-IR was calculated as Ln [(2 × FPG (mg/dL) + fasting TG (mg/dL)] × BMI (kg/m2)/Ln [HDL-C (mg/dL)]. The primary endpoint of this study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery revascularization, and stroke. RESULT The following-up time of this study was 49-101 months (median, 70 months; interquartile range, 62-78 months). During the follow-up period, there were 243 MACEs (22.1%). The probability of cumulative incidence of MACE increased incrementally across the quartiles of METS-IR (log-rank test, p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated a hazard ratio (95% CI) of 1.97 (1.36-2.86) for MACE in quartile 4 compared with participants in quartile 1. The addition of the METS-IR to the model with fully adjusting variables significantly improved its predictive value [C-statistic increased from 0.702 to 0.720, p < 0.001, continuous net reclassification improvement (NRI) = 0.305, < 0.001, integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) = 0.021, p < 0.001]. CONCLUSION METS-IR is an independent and favorable risk factor for predicting the occurrence of MACE and can be used as a simple and reliable indicator that can be used for risk stratification and early intervention in patients after CABG.

Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) is considered cardinal to the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Previously, several simple indexes of IR calculated from biochemical and anthropometric variables have been proposed. However, these indexes are population-dependent; therefore, further studies on a global scale are necessary. The present study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of eight IR indicators, namely, METS-IR, TG-HDL-c, TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-NC, TyG-NHtR, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR, in indicating MetS among a Brazilian population. For this, 268 patients (152 men and 116 women, 53–59 years of age) were included in the study, out of which 111 were diagnosed with MetS according to the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III). All indexes achieved significant accuracy, with TyG-WC (0.849 (0.800–0.889)), TyG (0.837 (0.787–0.879)), and TG-HDL-c (0.817 (0.765–0.861)) having the highest area under the curve (AUC). Further, the most heightened diagnostic sensitivities were observed for TG-HDL-c (90.99%), TyG-WC (89.19%), and TyG-NC (84.68%), whereas the highest diagnostic specificities were noted for TyG (73.89%), TyG-WHtR (72.61%), and TyG-WC (66.88%). Thus, TyG-WC, TyG, and TG-HDL-c reached the greatest AUC values in our analyses, making them useful diagnostic indicators of MetS, and crucial for patients’ clinical management.
