          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción: La adherencia al tratamiento ha sido identificada como uno de los factores más importantes para conseguir valores de presión arterial adecuados en pacientes hipertensos. Objetivo: Describir cuál es la adherencia de los pacientes al tratamiento antihipertensivo determinada mediante los registros de retirada de medicamentos por prescripción electrónica (Receta XXI) y estudiar la relación que existe entre dicha adherencia y el control de la presión arterial (PA). Método: Descriptivo transversal desde mayo de 2017 hasta mayo de 2019, en 6 farmacias comunitarias de la provincia de Granada (España). Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años que tomaban al menos un medicamento antihipertensivo durante un mínimo de 6 meses. Variables principales: Control de la presión arterial y adherencia al tratamiento antihipertensivo mediante el Sistema Receta XXI. Resultados: 95 pacientes fueron incluidos en el estudio. 49 (51,6%) no tenían controlada la PA y 29 (30.5%) paciente mostraron tener una adherencia sub-óptima. El análisis multivariante mostró que el grado de adherencia no estaba asociado a ninguna de las variables incluidas en el estudio y el control de la PA sólo estuvo relacionado con el sexo (OR: 0,044; IC95%: 0,005-0,427), con haber padecido arritmia cardiaca (OR: 0,004; IC95%: 0,000-0,106) y con padecer ansiedad (OR: 0,109; IC95%: 0,013-0,933). Conclusión: La prevalencia de hipertensión arterial no controlada fue muy elevada (51,6%) y no hubo asociación con factores de riesgo sociodemográficos habituales como la actividad física, tabaquismo o IMC. La falta de adherencia al tratamiento también tuvo una prevalencia muy alta (30.5%) sin embargo no mostró ser factor de riesgo PA no controlada.

          Abstract Background: Treatment adherence has been identified as one of the most relevant factors in achieving adequate blood pressure values in hypertensive patients. Aims: To describe patient adherence to antihypertensive treatment determined by drug collection records of the electronic prescription system and study the relationship between this adherence and blood pressure control. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted from May 2017 to May 2019, in 6 community pharmacies in the province of Granada (Spain). Patients over 18 years of age who took at least one antihypertensive medication for at least six months were included. Main outcome measure: Blood pressure control and adherence to antihypertensive treatment using the electronic prescription. Results: A total of 95 patients were included in the study. A total of 49 patients (51.6%) showed no blood pressure control, and 29 patients (30.5%) showed suboptimal adherence. The multivariate analysis showed no association between the degree of adherence and the variables included in the study, and blood pressure control was only related to sex (OR: 0.044; 95%CI: 0.005-0.427), to cardiac arrhythmia (OR: 0.004; 95% CI: 0.000-0.106) and to anxiety (OR: 0.109; 95% CI: 0.013-0.933). Conclusion: The prevalence of uncontrolled blood pressure was very high (51.6%), and no association with common sociodemographic risk factors, such as physical activity, smoking, or body mass index, was found. Non-adherence to treatment also had a very high prevalence (30.5%), but it was not associated with disease control.

              A new taxonomy for describing and defining adherence to medications.

              Interest in patient adherence has increased in recent years, with a growing literature that shows the pervasiveness of poor adherence to appropriately prescribed medications. However, four decades of adherence research has not resulted in uniformity in the terminology used to describe deviations from prescribed therapies. The aim of this review was to propose a new taxonomy, in which adherence to medications is conceptualized, based on behavioural and pharmacological science, and which will support quantifiable parameters. A systematic literature review was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library and PsycINFO from database inception to 1 April 2009. The objective was to identify the different conceptual approaches to adherence research. Definitions were analyzed according to time and methodological perspectives. A taxonomic approach was subsequently derived, evaluated and discussed with international experts. More than 10 different terms describing medication-taking behaviour were identified through the literature review, often with differing meanings. The conceptual foundation for a new, transparent taxonomy relies on three elements, which make a clear distinction between processes that describe actions through established routines ('Adherence to medications', 'Management of adherence') and the discipline that studies those processes ('Adherence-related sciences'). 'Adherence to medications' is the process by which patients take their medication as prescribed, further divided into three quantifiable phases: 'Initiation', 'Implementation' and 'Discontinuation'. In response to the proliferation of ambiguous or unquantifiable terms in the literature on medication adherence, this research has resulted in a new conceptual foundation for a transparent taxonomy. The terms and definitions are focused on promoting consistency and quantification in terminology and methods to aid in the conduct, analysis and interpretation of scientific studies of medication adherence. © 2012 The Authors.
