The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel reliable biomarker for IR that incorporates blood glucose and triglyceride, is linked to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). In this study, we aimed to further investigate the association between the TyG index and the outcomes of ICAS patients...
