Adherence to Treament: How can it be improved ? Fernán Caballero Fonseca Caracas, Venezuela December 2011
Potential reasons for not achieving control in asthma patients • Adherence • Technique • Misdiagnosis • Location of inflammation • Lack of eosinophilic inflammation • Genetics
Definitions of adherence / compliance • The extent to which the patient's actual practice corresponds to the prescribed regimen • For ambulatory patients ... the link between medical process and treatment outcome Effective Disease Management Effective Therapies Patient Adherence Urquhart. Eur Heart J. 1996;17:8
Patient persistence on medication in chronic diseases 100% Multiple Sclerosis (Biologic) 90% 80% High Cholesterol (Statin) 70% Hypertension 60% (CCB) 50% Osteoporosis (SERM) 40% Depression 30% (SSRI) 20% Asthma (Inhaled Steroid) 10% 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Across classes, 20% - 35% loss in patient base after fill of initial prescription Patients Continuing Therapy (%) Months of Therapy CCB = calcium channel blocker; SERM = selective estrogen receptor modulator; SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Adherence and outcomes Adherence/persistence rates range from 5-50%1 Use patterns tend to be sporadic2 Non-adherence likely accounts for ~60% of hospitalizations3 1Luskin AT Bukstein DA. Ann Allergy 1999, 2001 2Bender B JACI 2003 3Williams LK JACI2004;114:1288-1293
Types of nonadherence to medication • Not filling prescriptions • Not following directions • Premature discontinuation
Adherence also pertains to • Keeping the clinic visit schedule • Contacting the clinic as directed • Bringing medicines, diaries, or biological samples to clinic appointments • Completing diaries • Maintaining a diet, allergen avoidance, exercise program, or other aspects of the clinical regimen
Patient-related barriers • Patient/family demonstrate psychological problems • Patient doesn’t understand the treatment • Condition is either mild or severe • Patient has insufficient faith in physician or treatment • Patient just isn’t motivated
Depression Nonadherence Unhealthy Behavior Bender BG AAAAI 2010
Depression is a risk factor for nonadherence Depressed patients are 3 times more likely to be nonadherent with medical treatment recommendations than nondepressed patients. DiMatteo MR. Arch Intern Med. 2000;160:2101-2107.
Anxiety and depression in adolescents with asthma Is associated with 1. Increased risk of smoking Decreased use of controller medication Adolescents who smoked were 2.58 times more likely to demonstrate evidence of depression or anxiety Bush T. J Adolescent Health 2007;40:425
Patients attitudes towards asthma management Proportion of patients that agree with each statement (n=3,415) Patients (%) Partridge MR et al. BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2006:6:13
Treatment-related barriers • Treatment is prolonged and/or prophylactic • Consequences of therapy are delayed • Medication is associated with adverse side effects • Medication is expensive • Therapeutic regimen is complex and difficult to administer ( multiples devices etc.)

Improving adherence • Establish a therapeutic goal with the patient • Assess progress • Maintain a positive relationship • Provide positive feedback • Avoid criticism

Improving adherence • Simplify therapeutic regimen • Allow flexible dosing • Provide adequate information • Minimize painful tests • Maintain frequent contact • Issue appointment reminders
Patient education • Every office visit is an opportunity to reinforce self-management skills • Use hospital admission to review self-management skills • No patient should leave hospital without a written asthma action plan • At routine visits review self-management in case asthma deteriorates • Brief simple education linked to patient goals is most likely to be acceptable to patients Patient education and self-management. Thorax 2003;58(Suppl I):i1
Components of an asthma management plan • Triggers • Personal best peak flow • Routine medications • Signs and symptoms of worsening asthma • Medications required for emergencies and how to monitor response to them • Emergency contacts

Pediatric adherence is enhanced through the effective use of: • Doctor-patient communication • Parent/child education about therapies and disease management • Identifying relevant patient goals for therapy and directly linking them to adherence • Tailoring of therapies and management regimens to match patients’ preferences, lifestyles and abilities

Final coments : • It is easier to change patient therapy than to change patient behavior • Patient reports of non-adherence are virtually always accurate, while patient report of good adherence are frequently exaggerated • Non-adherence with therapy has different causes: adherence promotion strategies should be tailored to the cause Henry Milgrom and Fernan Caballero
