Abstract

Background and Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin use for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed in this study. Data were followed for 8 years in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since 2009. Results: There were 305 patients (154 patients in aspirin group and 151 patients in non-aspirin group) enrolled in this study. The mean age of each group was 68.40 years. The percentage of cardiovascular events in aspirin group was not significantly different from non-aspirin group (79.90% and 88.10% respectively; p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference of major gastrointestinal bleeding between the groups. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetic patients who received aspirin for primary prevention occurring cardiovascular events and major gastrointestinal bleeding were not significantly different from those who did not.
