Triglyceride-Glucose Index and 30-Day Mortality in Pediatric Sepsis

149 pediatric sepsis patient records from the PIC database of the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University between 2010 and 2018. The data was used in a retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between the TyG index and 30-day mortality. Author Yi Ding published the study on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Risk stratification modeling based on the TyG index and other laboratory variables.
• Survival analysis for 30-day in-hospital and ICU mortality outcomes.
• Investigating the relationship between insulin resistance markers and sepsis prognosis in children.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a specific, peer-reviewed clinical research question.
• Includes 149 patient records from a defined time range (2010-2018).
• Outcomes are clearly defined as 30-day in-hospital and ICU all-cause mortality.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 42.0 KB, indicating limited scope.
