Patients were classified into four quartiles based on their TyG index levels. The association between the TyG index and cardiovascular (CV) events, progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and all-cause mortality was evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A higher TyG index was associated with an increased risk of CV events. Compared with patients in the lowest TyG index quartile, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CV events were 1.08 (1.00\u20131.17), 1.13 (1.04\u20131.22), and 1.39 (1.28\u20131.51) for the second, third, and fourth quartiles, respectively. The risk of progression to ESKD also increased with higher TyG quartiles, with adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of 1.22 (1.08\u20131.38), 1.35 (1.18\u20131.54), and 1.86 (1.65\u20132.10) across increasing TyG index quartiles. The risk of all-cause mortality was similarly elevated in patients in the highest TyG index quartile. Furthermore, the risks of ESKD progression and all-cause mortality across different levels of kidney function was more pronounced with increasing TyG index levels (all P for interaction&amp;lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TyG index is a valuable predictor
