Newest firstDyadic coping among sexual minority men (SMM) has been a focus of HIV prevention research for decades, but few studies have examined relationship quality as a covariate of HIV care cascade outcomes (ART adherence and an undetectable viral load (VL)). This study utilized a 5-category relationship status variable (single; non-monogamous, sero-discordant; non-monogamous, sero-concordant; monogamous, sero-discordant;…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objectives Poor adherence to psychopharmacological treatment may contribute to relapses in bipolar disorder (BD). We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify factors associated with poor adherence in BD. Methods The protocol was registered in Open Science Framework Registries (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/2KZFJ). We searched main electronic databases through March 2025. Random-effects meta-an…
Previous research on the influence of substance use on PrEP uptake and adherence among transgender women has either relied on cross-sectional analyses or on combined samples of cisgender men who have sex with men and a much smaller subsample of transgender women. To the best of our knowledge, no longitudinal study has examined the relationship of substance use and PrEP use/adherence among young transgender women a…
Open article record in new tab ↗Medication adherence among patients with diabetes remains suboptimal in low- and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Emerging digital health interventions such as AI-powered virtual support may be associated with improved adherence behaviours. This study examined self-care competence and perceived AI-powered virtual support as predictors of medication adherence among patients with diabetes. A cross-section…
Open article record in new tab ↗Medication non-adherence remains a significant challenge in managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, leading to increased morbidity, preventable hospitalizations, and over $300 billion in annual healthcare costs. This burden is particularly pronounced in resource-limited settings, where fragmented data and limited resources hinder early risk identification. This study introduces MedAdhereAI, an…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundNepal is experiencing a rapid demographic shift toward an aging population, with concurrent increase in morbidity and medication-related problems. Despite this, the multidimensional experience of medication-related burden (MRB) and refill adherence remain under-studied, particularly through the lens of socio-demographic, clinical and medication-related predictive features. This study aimed to assess MRB…
Open article record in new tab ↗Objective Non-adherence is an important factor in clinical trials, which has not been investigated in people at ultra-high risk (UHR) of developing a first episode of psychosis. Methods Exploratory analysis of data from NEURAPRO, a multicenter, placebo-controlled trial of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 PUFAs) in 304 individuals at UHR. We examined correlates of non-adherence with study med…
BackgroundCommunity pharmacists serve as the most accessible healthcare providers, playing a pivotal role in patient counselling, health education, and disease prevention. Despite their critical function in the healthcare system, limited research has examined their actual involvement in these areas within Nairobi, Kenya. This study aims to assess community pharmacists engagement in patient counselling and health e…
Open article record in new tab ↗Purpose Patient hesitancy to use MC due to the fear of negative social implications leads to intentional non-adherence and compromises therapeutic outcomes. Hence, we aimed to determine the rate of patient adherence to MC and explore factors influencing patient MC use. Methods Demographic and quantitative data related to MC usage were extracted from medical records for patients prescribed MC at a single cancer cen…
Background Patients are surviving tumor diseases longer and longer due to the improvement of tumor-specific therapy and pain is a common symptom. The gold standard for tumor-associated chronic pain is multimodal therapy. Non-adherence causes high costs and may put patients at risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the adherence behavior and subjective treatment compliance of patients with tumor-associated…
Open article record in new tab ↗Drug use, mental distress, and other psychosocial factors threaten HIV care for youth living with HIV (YLWH). We aimed to identify syndemic psychosocial patterns among YLWH and examine how such patterns shape HIV outcomes. Using baseline data from 208 YLWH enrolled in an HIV treatment adherence intervention, we performed latent class analysis on dichotomized responses to 9 psychosocial indicators (enacted HIV stig…
BackgroundHypertension affects nearly half of U.S. adults, yet remains inadequately controlled in over three-quarters of these cases. This study aims to assess the association between adherence to antihypertensive medications and total medical costs, health care utilization, and productivity-related outcomes. MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study using MarketScan databases, which included individuals ag…
Open article record in new tab ↗OBJECTIVES: Drug interactions, poor adherence to medication and high-risk sexual behaviour may occur in individuals with HIV using recreational drugs. Thus, we aimed to assess the prevalence of recreational drugs use and to explore its clinical impact in HIV patients on treatment. METHODS: Observational, cross sectional, study conducted in a 700 bed university hospital, Barcelona, Spain. A total of 208 adults livi…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background: Adherence problems, interactions and higher rate of risk activities have been observed in HIV individuals using recreational drugs. Our aim was to describe recreational drug use in both HIV individuals and general population in Europe, and to assess at what extent HIV guidelines address this issue.Methods: Data on recreational drug use across Europe were obtained from the European Monitoring Centre for…
