Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria (T1D) • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (urine HCG is performed on all fertile women) • Non-diabetic kidney disease • Treatment with adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-receptor inhibitors, NSAID within the past 14 days, fish oil or other antithrombotic treatment (vitamin K antagonists and NOAKs) • Liver disease (liver cirrhosis with current impaired liver function defined as alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) more than two times the upper limit at last control) • High risk of thrombosis: o Stroke, TIA or drug eluting stent within the last 6 months o Acute coronary syndrome within the last 6 weeks or within 12 months from complications to acute coronary syndrome • Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to aspirin • Persons who, in the judgement of the investigator, are incapable of participating. • Participation in another intervention study Exclusion criteria (healthy controls) • Chronic systemic disease • Intake of any antithrombotic medication • Intake of fish oil • Intake of NSAIDs within the past 14 days • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (urine HCG is performed in all fertile women) • Persons who, in the judgement of the investigator, are incapable of participating • Participation in another intervention study
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main objective is to investigate platelet aggregation in type 1 diabetes (T1D) without/off aspirin treatment, stratified according to degree of albuminuria, compared to healthy controls;Secondary Objective: •Investigate platelet aggregation after a minimum of seven days aspirin treatment in T1D, stratified according to degree of albuminuria, compared to healthy controls. •Determine the prevalence of plaques and plaque volume in the carotid arteries in subjects with T1D. •Examine the association between platelet aggregation and plaque morphology (expressed as a grayscale) •Examine the association between platelet aggregation and the plaque volume in the carotid arteries in subjects with T1D. •Investigate whether platelet aggregation or plaque volume can predict progression in plaque volume after two years, independently of other risk factors. •Investigate if platelet aggregation and change in plaque volume can predict CVD outcome in register-based follow up, independently of other risk factors. •Investigate endothelial function and inflammation in T1D and examine the association with platelet aggregation and plaque volume in the carotid arteries. ;Primary end point(s): •Investigate platelet aggregation in T1D without/off aspirin treatment, stratified according to degree of albuminuria, compared to healthy controls. Platelet aggregation is determined by arachidonic acid expressed as area under the curve. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint will be evaluated when all participants have attended visit 2 or 3A. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1 Investigate platelet aggregation after a minimum of seven days aspirin treatment in T1D, stratified according to degree of albuminuria, compared to healthy controls. 2 Determine the prevalence of plaques and plaque volume in the carotid arteries in subjects with T1D. 3 Examine the association between platelet aggregation and plaque morphology (expressed as a grayscale) 4 Examine the association between platelet aggregation and the plaque volume in the carotid arteries in subjects with T1D. 5 Investigate endothelial function and inflammation in T1D and examine the association with platelet aggregation and plaque volume in the carotid arteries. 6 Investigate whether platelet aggregation can predict progression in plaque volume after two years, independently of other risk factors. 7 Investigate if platelet aggregation and change in plaque volume can predict CVD outcome in register-based follow up, independently of other risk factors.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The secondary endpoints no. 1-5 will be evaluated when all participants have attended visit 2 or 3A. The secondary endpoint no. 6 will be evaluated after all participants have attended the 2 year follow-up visit. The secondary endpoint no. 7 will be evaluated after the long-term follow-up data fra registries have been collected. | — |
