# Association of triglyceride-glucose index with postoperative recovery-related factors in type II cesarean scar pregnancy treated by transvaginal surgery

## TL;DR

This study explores how the triglyceride-glucose index affects recovery and hospital costs in patients with a rare pregnancy condition treated by surgery.

## Contribution

The study identifies a novel association between the triglyceride-glucose index and hospitalization costs in type II CSP patients.

## Key findings

- Higher TyG levels correlate with shorter hospital stays and lower costs.
- TyG shows a significant link to hospitalization costs but not to other recovery factors.
- TyG may help predict healthcare resource use in type II CSP patients.

## Abstract

Type II cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a rare and serious condition. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) may influence postoperative recovery-related factors (PRRF) as a marker of insulin resistance. This study investigates the relationship between TyG and PRRF in patients with type II CSP undergoing transvaginal surgery.

Forty-five patients treated from January 2019 to September 2023 were analyzed. Data on surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, length of stay, hospitalization costs, and recovery were collected and assessed against TyG levels.

A significant correlation was found between TyG and hospitalization costs (β = −677.5, p = 0.02). Higher TyG levels were associated with shorter hospital stays and lower costs, while no significant associations were observed with other factors.

TyG is associated with hospitalization costs and length of stay in type II CSP patients, suggesting its potential to predict healthcare resource utilization. Further research is needed to explore its role in surgical risk assessment.
