Background: Whether the consequences of diabetes mellitus (DM) areworse forwomen than formen treatedwith drug-eluting stents (DES) and antiplatelet therapy remain unclear. Methods: Patients from the Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet TherapyWith Drug-Eluting Stents study were stratified according to sex and DMstatus. We investigated the sex-specific effect of DMon high on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity (HPR), defined as a P2Y(12) reaction units >= 208, and the adjusted association of DM on the 2-year risk for coronary thrombotic events (CTE), defined as spontaneous myocardial infarction or definite or probable stent thrombosis. Results: Out of 8582 patients included in the study, 829werewomenwith DM(9.6%) and 1954weremenwith DM (16.2%). The prevalence of insulin-treatedDM(ITDM) was greater inwomen (p < 0.0001). Bymultivariable logistic regression, DM was associated with a greater likelihood of HPR that was uniformbetween sexes (p(int) = 0.88). Following adjustment for baseline variables and HPR, in women a stepwise increase in risk for CTEs was observed in the transition from no DMto non-ITDM (NITDM) (adjusted hazard ratio [adjHR]: 1.31; 95% CI: 0.78-2.18) to ITDM (adjHR: 2.69; 95% CI: 1.23-3.45). This increase in risk associatedwith subtypes of DMwas of smaller magnitude in men (for NITDM, adjHR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.77-1.39; for ITDM, adjHR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.05-2.03; p(int) = 0.016). Conclusions: In a population treated with DES and antiplatelet therapy, the risk for CTE associated with DM seems to be greater in women and was independent of HPR.
