C-index of TyG for predicting all-cause and cardiovascular death in FH patients
Models | C-statistic (95% CI) * | p value |
---|---|---|
All-cause death | ||
Original model ** | 0.489 (0.437–0.542) | Ref |
Original model + TyG | 0.483 (0.432–0.535) | 0.042 |
Cardiovascular death | ||
Original model | 0.408 (0.324–0.491) | Ref |
Original model + TyG | 0.397 (0.315–0.479) | 0.042 |
*The C-index was calculated by using the predict.coxph function to predict the Cox model with predicted value type = "survival"
**Original model included age, gender, BMI, smoke, drink, HOMA-IR, LDL-C, creatinine and hypertension
