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.
