Non-HDL cholesterol is an independent risk factor for aspirin resistance in obese patients with type 2 diabetes

초록

Objective: We evaluated the prevalence of aspirin resistance and predictive factors for aspirin resistance in Korean type 2 diabetes patients. Approach and results: A total of 1045 type 2 diabetes patients from 11 hospitals who were taking aspirin (100 mg/day for >= 2 weeks) and no other antiplatelet agents were studied to evaluate aspirin resistance. Aspirin resistance was measured in aspirin reaction units using VerifyNow (R). Aspirin resistance was defined as >= 550 aspirin reaction units. Aspirin resistance was detected in 102 of the 1045 subjects (prevalence 9.8%). Aspirin resistance was associated with total cholesterol (P = 0.013), LDL-cholesterol (P = 0.028), and non-HDL cholesterol (P = 0.008) concentrations in univariate analysis. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, only non-HDL cholesterol was associated with aspirin resistance in obese (BMI > 25 kg/m(2)) type 2 diabetes patients (adjusted odds ratio 3.55, 95% CI: 1.25-10.05, P = 0.017). Conclusions: The prevalence of aspirin resistance in Korean type 2 diabetes patients is 9.8%. Non-HDL cholesterol is an independent risk factor for aspirin resistance, especially in obese type 2 diabetes patients. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
