patients at Bethesda Hospital Yogyakarta. This study was using a nested case-control study
design. The Cases group was subjects who resistance to aspirin therapy. The control group was
subjects who response to aspirin therapy. The factors that affect the incidence of aspirin
resistance were analyzed by bivariate analysis chi square test. The proportion of diabetes
mellitus in resistant group was bigger than the aspirin responsive group. Its odds ratio (OR) was
1.605 (95% CI, 0.641 to 4.017) (p=0.155). Conclusion: Ischemic stroke patients at Bethesda
Hospital Yogyakarta with diabetes mellitus were not proved to have a bigger risk of aspirin
resistance than the patients without diabetes mellitus.
