“…10 Out of 35 patients, 24 (68.5%) were males and 11 (31%) were females. Rise in mean pre-transfusion haemoglobin in good and partial responders (p<0.001) was significant but not that of poor responders (p-0.092).…”

Background: This study was conducted to find out whether high dose hydroxyurea is an effective and safe modality, in inducing haemoglobin synthesis to decrease blood transfusion requirement in transfusion dependent thalassemics.Methods: This quasi experimental un-control before and after comparison study was conducted in Thalassemia Day Care Centre, Department of Pediatrics over a period of six months after obtaining an approval from the Institute’s ethical committee. Fifty transfusions dependent thalassemic children belonging from 2 to 18 yrs were given hydroxyurea in dose of 20mg/kg after getting consent. Pre and post intervention haemoglobin and HbF levels were obtained using Hb electrophoresis by HPLC. Paired t test was applied to find out statistical significance and p value <0.05 was taken as significant.Results: Significant rise in haemoglobin pre and post intervention (p<0.001) but the rise in HbF was not significant (p=0.110). One patient had bone marrow depression which was reversible with drug withdrawal and one patient had rise in s. creatinine.Conclusions: High dose hydroxyurea is an effective and safe drug in inducing Hemoglobin synthesis in transfusion dependent thalassemics.

“…The first two items refer to the unintentional non-adherence to treatment due to forgetfulness and carelessness. The last two items concern the intentional cessation of medication when feeling better or worse [37][38] In 2008 the modified eight-item scale (MMAS-8) was developed to overcome the limitations of MMAS-4 [36]. The first seven items are dichotomous response categories with yes or no, and the last item inquires how often the responder misses the daily doses of medications, with five response options and corresponding different scoring.…”

“…The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) is a short and easy survey identifying barriers to treatment adherence. So far, this is the most extensively studied scale, validated for a large number of diseases [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. The Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use (SEAMS) [50][51], the Hill-Bone Compliance Scale [52][53][54][55], the Brief Medication Questionnaire (BMQ) [56][57][58][59], the Treatment Adherence Questionnaire for Patients with Hypertension (TAQPH) [66], the Martin-Bayarre-Grau questionnaire (MBG) [67][68], and the Adherence Self-Report Questionnaire (ASRQ) [69] focus on patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases, mainly with hypertension.…”

Przegląd Dermatologiczny 2016/2 153 StreSzczenie Łuszczyca, jedna z najczęstszych przewlekłych chorób skóry, stanowi nie tylko istotny problem zdrowotny, lecz także społeczno-ekonomiczny. Wyniki leczenia tego schorzenia wciąż są niesatysfakcjonują-ce, na co wpływ ma poziom przestrzegania zaleceń terapeutycznych przez pacjentów (adherence i compliance). Jak wykazano w badaniach, im wyższy jest poziom przestrzegania zaleceń terapeutycznych, tym efekty leczenia są lepsze, a koszty terapii mniejsze. Niestety wyniki badań wskazują na niski poziom przestrzegania zaleceń przez pacjentów z łuszczycą, a zarówno chorzy, jak i lekarze wciąż nie są dostatecznie świadomi, jak dużą rolę w terapii odgrywają te elementy. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wyróżnia się trzy główne grupy czynników będących przyczyną niestosowania się pacjentów do zaleceń terapeutycznych: czynniki dotyczące pacjenta i jego zachowań zdrowotnych, czynniki związane z terapią łuszczycy oraz czynniki związane z funkcjonowaniem systemu opieki zdrowotnej. AbStrActPsoriasis, being one of the most common, chronic skin diseases, is not only an important health problem but also a socio-economic issue. The outcome of psoriasis therapy is still unsatisfactory and is influenced by the level of patient compliance and adherence. Outcomes are better with a higher level of compliance, as demonstrated in the studies, and the cost of treatment is lower. Unfortunately, study results indicate a low level of adherence and compliance in patients with psoriasis, and patients and doctors are still not sufficiently aware of the role of these factors in therapy. Based on the studies, there are three main groups of factors which cause non-compliance of patients with treatment recommendations: factors relating to the patient and their health behaviors, factors associated with psoriasis therapy and factors related to the functioning of the health care system.Przestrzeganie zaleceń terapeutycznych przez chorych na łuszczycę -przegląd piśmiennictwa "Adherence" and "compliance" in the treatment of psoriasis -literature review
