Higher thromboxane production in diabetic patients has not been linked to aspirin resistance and recurrent events. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study aimed to investigate urinary 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (dh-TxB2) levels in diabetic and non-diabetic ACS patients undergoing PTCA and its association with MACE. The dh-TxB2 ELISA assay was performed during index admission in all patients, and they were followed-up for 1-year. Results: Out of the 192 patients enrolled, 84 (43.8%) were diabetic and 108 (56.2%) were non-diabetic. Median dh-TxB2 levels were higher among diabetics compared to non-diabetics [577.7 pg/mg Cr (IQR 991.2:62.8-1054.0) vs. 344.0 pg/mg Cr (IQR 691.4:73.4-764.8) respectively]. Patients with and without diabetes had 1-year MACE rates of 14.3% and 7.4% respectively (P=0.096). The patients who developed MACE had higher dh-TxB2 levels in both the groups [nondiabetics: 419.6 (non-MACE) vs. 1349.7 pg/mg Cr (MACE); p1496 pg/mg Cr developed more MACE than their counterparts in non-diabetics. The dh-TxB2 concentration may be used as a predictor of early MACE in diabetic ACS patients. &#13;
