Correlation analysis of triglyceride-glucose index and peptic ulcer bleeding
Objective To investigate the correlation between triglyceride-glucose index and upper gastrointestinal bleeding complicated by peptic ulcer.Methods A total of 217 patients with peptic ulcer were selected as the study subjects and these subjects were divided into bleeding group(observation group)and non-bleeding group(control group).The correlation between age,gender,body mass index(BMI),Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection,serum blood glucose(Glu),triglyceride(TG),hemoglobin,red blood cell count,platelet and other indicators of patients in the two groups and gastrointestinal bleeding was analyzed respectively.Results The age,TyG index and Hp infection of the observation group were higher than those of the control group(all P<0.05);the hemoglobin and hematocrit value of the observation group were lower than those of the control group(both P<0.05).There were no significant differences in gender,BMI,smoking,heart rate,platelet count,hypertension and diabetes between the two groups(all P>0.05).The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of TyG index,Hp infection,hemoglobin and hematocrit value in predicting peptic ulcer bleeding were 0.708(95%CI:0.639-0.777),0.641(95%CI:0.568-0.715),0.099(95%CI:0.056-0.142)and 0.083(95%CI:0.045-0.121).Conclusion TyG index is a risk factor for peptic ulcer patients complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding,and observation of TyG index can play a certain role in predicting the development of peptic ulcer patients.
