We analyzed the prognostic value of IR markers, including the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride and body mass index (TYG-BMI), and the insulin resistance metabolic score (METS-IR), in AIS patients who received IVT with or without T2DM. The primary outcome was 48-hour hemorrhagic transformation and 3-month poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] ≥ 3).Results: Among 1181 enrolled patients, 328 were diagnosed with T2DM, representing 27.8% of the cohort. T2DM group showed a higher proportion of poor prognosis (23% vs.11%, p < 0.001), but no significant difference in hemorrhagic transformation between the two groups. TyG index, TyG-BMI, and METS-IR all demonstrated predictive value for 3-month poor prognosis, with the TyG index showing the highest predictive accuracy [area under the curve (AUC): 0.848]. The optimal cutoff point for predicting poor prognosis was 7.409, with sensitivity of 0.762 and specificity of 0.855 (p < 0.001). However, all three indexes were limited in their ability to predict hemorrhagic transformation.Conclusion: Elevated TyG index is an independent risk factor for 3-month poor prognosis in AIS patients of IVT with or without type T2DM, with the TyG index showing the highest predictive value. These findings provide a new understanding that IR can be used as a therapeutic target for AIS patients of IVT.Keywords: TyG index, TYG-BMI, METS-IR, hemorrhagic transformation, poor prognosis
