Frailty has been implicated as a prognostic factor for ischemic cardiovascular diseases. However, the effects of frailty on platelet responses to aspirin and clopidogrel remain under investigation. In this study, we enrolled consecutive elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who were treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to evaluate this association. A total of 264 patients (aged 70-95 years) were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a nonfrail (nFR) group and a frail (FR) group according to the Clinical Frailty Scale. Platelet reactivity was assessed with a light transmittance aggregometry method, and arachidonic acid and adenosine diphosphate induced maximum platelet aggregation (AA-MPA/ADP-MPA) were calculated to evaluate the platelet response to aspirin and clopidogrel. The results showed that the AA-MPA and ADP-MPA of the FR group were significantly higher than those in the nFR group (17.49 ± 6.65 vs 15.19 ± 6.33, P < .01; 56.13 ± 10.14 vs 45.45 ± 11.59, P < .01). High on-aspirin platelet response (HAPR) and high on-clopidogrel platelet response (HCPR) were significantly more common in the FR group than in the nFR group (24.67% vs 13.16%, P = .028, 37.33% vs 15.79%, P < .01). According to multivariable regression analyses, frailty was found to be independently associated with AA-MPA (βcoefficient = 1.883, P = .042) and ADP-MPA (βcoefficient = 9.287, P < .001), and it was an independent predictor of HAPR (odds ratio [OR]: 2.696, P < .01) and HCPR (OR: 2.543, P < .01). It was concluded that among elderly patients with CAD undergoing PCI, frailty is an independent predictor of HAPR and HCPR, and the state of frailty is independently associated with the platelet responses to clopidogrel and aspirin.
