Associations of the triglyceride-glucose index and intracranial arterial stenosis with poor functional outcome after ischemic stroke: a retrospective observational study of 712 patients
While intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) and insulin resistance (IR) often co-occur in ischemic stroke, their combined prognostic impact is unclear; we hypothesized their synergy predisposes to worse short-term outcomes. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 712 consecutive patients with acute ischemic s...
