Aspirin Use Rates in Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Cross-Sectional Study
Recent studies have shown that low-dose aspirin is not effective for the primary prevention of cardiovascular (CV) events in diabetes. Pharmacologic evidence suggests, however, that an adequate antiplatelet effect in diabetes requires a dose of >100 mg daily. This study was designed to identify the dose of aspirin most commonly used in diabetes.
