The aim of this study is to compare a medium (300 mg) and low (100 mg) dose of aspirin on platelet function in diabetic patients.
Methods: We have included one hundred and two patients with type 2 diabetesmellitus. Platelet function was measured as closure time (CT) with the PlateletFunction Analyzer (PFA)-100k before the administration of aspirin. Initially thepatients were given 100 mg aspirin once daily for seven days, and then themeasurements were repeated. If the CT exceeded the upper limit of 300 s, the studywas terminated. If not, the patients continued the aspirin therapy with a dose of 300mg daily for another seven days, and the CTs were measured again.
Results: After taking 100 mg aspirin, the CT significantly increased from 126 F 29 s to256 F 66 s ( p b 0.001). In 68 of 102 (67%) patients, the CT increased to 300 s. In theremaining 34 patients, the baseline CT was 113 F 29, and increased to 170 F 45 safter 100 mg aspirin ( p b 0.001). In these patients, there was a further increase inthe CT from 170 F 45 to 229 F 75 s following 300 mg aspirin ( p b 0.001). On average,the CT was increased by 60% and 39% following ingestion of 100 and 300 mg aspirin,respectively. CT N 300 s were obtained in 15 (44%) of 34 patients after 300 mg aspirin.

doi:10.1016/j.thromres.2005.02.005 Conclusions: Although, a daily dose of 100 mg aspirin effectively inhibited plateletfunction in a majority of diabetics, a considerable proportion of patients showed agreater platelet inhibition with the use of 300 mg aspirin. The PFA-100k closuretime may be used to separate those patients who require a higher dose of aspirin toachieve desired antiplatelet effect.
