Outcome of patients with diabetes and unstable angina. A subgroup analysis in the Spanish Multicentre Trial of trifusal in unstable angina. Grupo de Estudio del Trifusal en la Angina Inestable.
We analyzed the clinical characteristics of the 58 diabetic and 218 nondiabetic patients enrolled in the Spanish multicentre trial of trifusal in unstable angina. After 6 months of follow-up, 25 suffered from myocardial infarction or death, 10 of which were diabetics (17.2%) and 15 nondiabetics (6.9%) (P = 0.0146). This difference remained significant after multivariate analysis. We conclude that diabetes is an independent predictor of adverse outcome in patients with medically treated unstable angina.

Protective effect of triflusal against acute myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina: results of a Spanish multicenter trial. Grupo de Estudio del Triflusal en la Angina Inestable.
A multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a new antiplatelet agent, triflusal (2-acetoxy-4-trifluoromethyl benzoic acid), in the prevention of nonfatal myocardial infarction and cardiac or vascular death (principal end-points) in patients with unstable angina. 281 patients were randomly assigned to triflusal (300 mg t.i.d.; n = 143) or placebo (n = 138). After 6 months of treatment, the incidence of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction was significantly lower in the triflusal than in the placebo group: 6 patients (4.2%) versus 17 (12.3%), p = 0.013. The low number of deaths (2/143 triflusal versus 0/138 placebo recipients) hampered statistical analysis of mortality rates. The need for revascularization was similar in the two groups: 24 patients (16.8%) in the triflusal group and 28 (20.3%) in the placebo group, p = 0.449. In conclusion, the results show that treatment with triflusal can reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction in patients with unstable angina.
