3. Antiplatelet Agents Recommendations Consider aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day) as a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk (10-year risk >10%). This includes most men aged >50 years or women aged >60 years who have at least one additional major risk factor (family history of CVD, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, or albuminuria). C Aspirin should not be recommended for CVD prevention for adults with diabetes at low CVD risk (10-year CVD risk <5%, such as in men aged <50 years and women aged <60 years with no major additional CVD risk factors), since the potential adverse effects from bleeding likely offset the potential benefits. C In patients in these age-groups with multiple other risk factors (e.g., 10- year risk 5–10%), clinical judgment is required. E Use aspirin therapy (75–162 mg/day) as a secondary prevention strategy in those with diabetes with a history of CVD. A For patients with CVD and documented aspirin allergy, clopidogrel (75 mg/day) should be used. B Dual antiplatelet therapy is reasonable for up to a year after an acute coronary syndrome. B Diabetes Care Jan;36(suppl 1):s1-s99.

Treatment (CVD) In patients with known CVD, consider ACE inhibitor therapy C and use aspirin and statin therapy A (if not contraindicated) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. In patients with a prior MI, β-blockers should be continued for at least 2 years after the event. B In patients with symptomatic heart failure, avoid thiazolidinedione treatment. C In patients with stable CHF, metformin may be used if renal function is normal but should be avoided in unstable or hospitalized patients with CHF. B Diabetes Care Jan;36(suppl 1):s1-s99.

Treatment (Retinopathy) Promptly refer patients with any level of macular edema, severe NPDR, or any PDR to an ophthalmologist who is knowledgeable and experienced in the management and treatment of diabetic retinopathy. A Laser photocoagulation therapy is indicated to reduce the risk of vision loss in patients with high-risk PDR, clinically significant macular edema, and in some cases severe NPDR. A Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy is indicated for diabetic macular edema. A The presence of retinopathy is not a contraindication to aspirin therapy for cardioprotection, as this therapy does not increase the risk of retinal hemorrhage. A Diabetes Care Jan;36(suppl 1):s1-s99.

C. Older Adults Recommendations Older adults who are functional, cognitively intact, and have significant life expectancy should receive diabetes care with goals similar to those developed for younger adults. E Glycemic goals for some older adults might reasonably be relaxed, using individual criteria, but hyperglycemia leading to symptoms or risk of acute hyperglycemic complications should be avoided in all patients. E Other cardiovascular risk factors should be treated in older adults with consideration of the time frame of benefit and the individual patient. Treatment of hypertension is indicated in virtually all older adults, and lipid and aspirin therapy may benefit those with life expectancy at least equal to the time frame of primary or secondary prevention trials. E Screening for diabetes complications should be individualized in older adults, but particular attention should be paid to complications that would lead to functional impairment. E Diabetes Care Jan;36(suppl 1):s1-s99.

Importance Prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases is an important public health priority in Japan due to an aging population. Objective To determine whether daily, low-dose aspirin reduces the incidence of cardiovascular events in older Japanese patients with multiple atherosclerotic risk factors.

Design, Setting, and Participants The Japanese Primary Prevention Project (JPPP) was a multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group trial. Patients (N = ) were aged 60 to 85 years, presenting with hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes mellitus recruited by primary care physicians at 1007 clinics in Japan between March 2005 and June 2007, and were followed up for up to 6.5 years, with last follow-up in May A multidisciplinary expert panel (blinded to treatment assignments) adjudicated study outcomes. Interventions Patients were randomized 1:1 to enteric-coated aspirin 100 mg/d or no aspirin in addition to ongoing medications. Main Outcomes and Measures Composite primary outcome was death from cardiovascular causes (myocardial infarction, stroke, and other cardiovascular causes), nonfatal stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic, including undefined cerebrovascular events), and nonfatal myocardial infarction. Secondary outcomes included individual end points.

At present the choice of aspirin remains clear in several situations. Aspirin is indicated for patients at high short-term risk due to an acute vascular event and those undergoing certain vascular procedures; patients with any evidence of vascular disease should be given daily aspirin. On the other hand, patients at very low risk of vascular events should not take aspirin for prevention of vascular events, even at low dose. The ASCEND study involves aspirin for patients 40 years and older with type 1 or 2 diabetes 7,8 ; the ARRIVE study is testing aspirin in middle-aged and older patients who are at higher risk based on the presence of multiple CVD risk factors 9 ; and the ASPREE study is testing aspirin in individuals older than 70 years. 10 Information from these studies will help refine guidelines that currently reserve aspirin for higher-risk patients JAMA. Published online November 17, doi: /jama

Results The study was terminated early by the data monitoring committee after a median follow-up of 5.02 years (interquartile range, 4.55–5.33) based on likely futility. In both the aspirin and no aspirin groups, 56 fatal events occurred. Patients with an occurrence of nonfatal stroke totaled 114 in the aspirin group and 108 in the no aspirin group; of nonfatal myocardial infarction, 20 in the aspirin group and 38 in the no aspirin group; of undefined cerebrovascular events, 3 in the aspirin group and 5 in the no aspirin group. The 5-year cumulative primary outcome event rate was not significantly different between the groups (2.77% [95% CI, 2.40%-3.20%] for aspirin vs 2.96% [95% CI, 2.58%-3.40%] for no aspirin; hazard ratio [HR], 0.94 [95% CI, ]; P =.54). Aspirin significantly reduced incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction (0.30 [95% CI, ] for aspirin vs 0.58 [95% CI, ] for no aspirin; HR, 0.53 [95% CI, ]; P =.02) and transient ischemic attack (0.26 [95% CI, ] for aspirin vs 0.49 [95% CI, ] for no aspirin; HR, 0.57 [95% CI, ]; P =.04), and significantly increased the risk of extracranial hemorrhage requiring transfusion or hospitalization (0.86 [95% CI, ] for aspirin vs 0.51 [95% CI, ] for no aspirin; HR, 1.85 [95% CI, ]; P =.004).

Conclusions and Relevance Once-daily, low- dose aspirin did not significantly reduce the risk of the composite outcome of cardiovascular death, nonfatal stroke, and nonfatal myocardial infarction among Japanese patients 60 years or older with atherosclerotic risk factors.

Background: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in the United States. Objective: To evaluate the cost- effectiveness of urate-lowering treatment strategies for the management of gout.

Design: Markov model. Data Sources: Published literature and expert opinion. Target Population: Patients for whom allopurinol or febuxostat is a suitable initial urate-lowering treatment. Time Horizon: Lifetime. Perspective: Health care payer. Intervention: 5 urate-lowering treatment strategies were evaluated: no treatment; allopurinol- or febuxostat-only therapy; allopurinol–febuxostat sequential therapy; and febuxostat–allopurinol sequential therapy. Two dosing scenarios were investigated: fixed dose (80 mg of febuxostat daily, 0.80 success rate; 300 mg of allopurinol daily, 0.39 success rate) and dose escalation (≤120 mg of febuxostat daily, 0.82 success rate; ≤800 mg of allopurinol daily, 0.78 success rate). Outcome Measures: Discounted costs, discounted quality- adjusted life-years, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios.

Table 1. Model Inputs* SUA serum uric acid. * When probabilities in studies were not reported on a monthly basis, the authors adjusted using rates and then transformed rates into monthly probabilities. All cost estimates are reported in 2013 U.S. dollars. † The upper range for the effectiveness of febuxostat was based on 10% of the mean value. ‡ Probability was assumed to persist for the first year of receiving allopurinol. § Probability is conditional on experiencing the syndrome. Probability of switching is only for scenarios that model a switch strategy. The probability of switching due to being in an uncontrolled state is conditional on patients remaining in the uncontrolled-on-therapy state for 3 mo. If patients remain in the uncontrolled-on-therapy state for 9 mo and have not already switched, then they immediately change therapies. ¶ Probability of switching is only for scenarios that model a switch strategy. Switching due to an adverse event is conditional on patients experiencing an adverse event within 3 mo of starting therapy. Patients can switch therapy because of an adverse event, regardless of being in a controlled or an uncontrolled state. ** Discontinuation due to therapeutic failure is defined as the probability of discontinuing treatment conditional on staying in an uncontrolled state for a given period. †† Discontinuation due to adverse event is conditional on experiencing an adverse event and is assumed to persist for the first 3 mo of treatment. ‡‡ Utility associated with having the hypersensitivity syndrome is 0.35 regardless of the state in which a person resides. §§ The low estimate in the price range is 50% of the mean value. The high estimate is the upper 95% CI derived from the probabilistic sensitivity analysis. The low estimate in the price range is derived from single technology appraisal submission to the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. The high estimate in the range is 50% of the mean estimate.

The acceptability curve shows the urate- lowering therapy strategy with the highest probability of being cost-effective for a given willingness- topay threshold. When willingness-to-pay per QALY is less than $40 100, dose escalation of allopurinol alone is the optimal treatment. QALY = quality- adjusted life-year.

Results of Base-Case Analysis: In both dosing scenarios, allopurinol-only therapy was cost-saving. Dose-escalation allopurinol–febuxostat sequential therapy was more costly but more effective than dose-escalation allopurinol therapy, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $ per quality-adjusted life-year. Results of Sensitivity Analysis: The relative rankings of treatments did not change. Our results were relatively sensitive to several potential variations of model assumptions; however, the cost-effectiveness ratios of dose escalation with allopurinol–febuxostat sequential therapy remained lower than the willingness-to-pay threshold of $ per quality- adjusted life-year.

Limitation: Long-term outcome data for patients with gout, including medication adherence, are limited. Conclusion: Allopurinol single therapy is cost- saving compared with no treatment. Dose- escalation allopurinol–febuxostat sequential therapy is cost-effective compared with accepted willingness-to-pay thresholds. Primary Funding Source:Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
