Background: The research about the influence of triglyceride-glucose index on early prognosis in stroke is lacking. Aims: In this study, we evaluated the association between triglyceride-glucose index and early neurological deterioration in patients with single subcortical infarctions. Methods: Consecutive patients with single subcortical infarctions within 72 h of symptom onset between 2011 and 2015. Early neurological deterioration was defined as an increase of ≥2 in the total NIHSS score or ≥1 in the motor NIHSS score. The triglyceride-glucose index was calculated using the log scale of fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2. Results: A total of 305 patients with single subcortical infarctions were evaluated. In multivariable analysis, the triglyceride-glucose index (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=2.94, 95% confidence interval [CI]%1.58-5.45) and age (aOR=1.05, 95% CI=1.01-1.09) were associated with early neurological deterioration. In subgroup analysis according to the type of single subcortical infarctions, only patients with proximal single subcortical infarctions showed a significant association between the triglyceride-glucose index and early neurological deterioration (aOR=2.92, 95% CI=1.35-6.29). On the other hand, there was no statistical significance in patients with distal single subcortical infarctions. Patients with untreated diabetes also showed the close association between the triglyceride-glucose index and early neurological deterioration (aOR=3.94, 95% CI=1.47-10.52). Conclusions: The triglyceride-glucose index was associated with early neurological deterioration in single subcortical infarctions. This association differed depending on the location of lesion and the presence of untreated diabetes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
