A Clinical Nomogram Based on the Triglyceride-Glucose Index to Predict Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury after Percutaneous Intervention in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome with Diabetes Mellitus.

The aim of the study was to investigate the factors influencing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) after percutaneous intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with diabetes mellitus (DM). A total of 1073 patients with ACS combined with DM who underwent PCI at the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were included in this study. We divided the patients into the CI-AKI and non-CI-AKI groups according to whether CI-AKI occurred or not. The patients were then randomly assigned to the training and validation sets at a proportion of 7 : 3. Based on the results of the LASSO regression and multivariate analyses, we determined that the subtypes of ACS, age, multivessel coronary artery disease, hyperuricemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride-glucose index, and estimated glomerular filtration rate were independent predictors on CI-AKI after PCI in patients with ACS combined with DM. Using the above indicators to develop the nomogram, the AUC-ROC of the training and validation sets were calculated to be 0.811 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.766-0.844) and 0.773 (95% CI: 0.712-0.829), respectively, indicating high prediction efficiency. After verification by the Bootstrap internal verification, we found that the calibration curves showed good agreement between the nomogram predicted and observed values. And the DCA results showed that the nomogram had a high clinical application. In conclusion, we constructed and validated the nomogram to predict CI-AKI risk after PCI in patients with ACS and DM. The model can provide a scientific reference for predicting the occurrence of CI-AKI and improving the prognosis of patients.
