Incomplete compliance is one of several possible causes uncontrolled hypertension. Yet, non-compliance remains largely unrecognized and falsely interpreted as treatment resistance, because it difficult to confirm or exclude objectively. The goal this study was evaluate the potential benefits electronic monitoring drug in management patients with resistant hypertension.Forty-one hypertensive a three-drug regimen (average blood pressure 156/ 106 +/- 23/11 mmHg, mean SD) were studied...
Objective: To determine the effect of nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) on virologic failure and mortality in naive individuals starting ART. Design: Prospective observational cohort study. Methods: Eligible enrolled Swiss HIV Cohort Study, started ART between 2003 2012, provided adherence data at least one biannual clinical visit. Adherence was defined as missed doses (none, one, two, or more than two) percentage (>95, 90–95, <90) previous 4 weeks. Inverse probability weighting...
To ensure successful treatment, HIV patients must maintain a high degree of medication adherence over time. Since August 2004, who are (or at risk of) experiencing problems with their antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been referred by physicians to an interdisciplinary HIV-adherence program. The program consists multifactorial intervention along electronic drug monitoring (MEMS(TM)). pharmacists organize individualized semi-structured motivational interviews based on cognitive, emotional,...
Background The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-based pharmaceutical services in community pharmacy (CP) settings has the potential to enhance point-of-care and improve informed patient access healthcare. Pneumoscope™, an innovative AI-powered digital stethoscope that analyses lung sounds detect specific respiratory pathologies, could be a valuable tool for pharmacists conducting screening. To understand how this device can implemented healthcare system, exploratory research aims...
Many patients are not taking their medicines. It has substantial negative medical and economic consequences for healthcare systems but there is limited knowledge on how medication adherence integrated in education. This study seeks to investigate what extent students medicine, pharmacy nursing Europe taught about adherence. A cross-sectional online survey was distributed 731 persons teaching relevant courses across 142 European universities between February June 2024. The addressed...
The Community Pharmacy of the Department Ambulatory Care and Medicine (Policlinique Médicale Universitaire, PMU), University Lausanne, developed implemented an interdisciplinary medication adherence program. program aims to support reinforce through a multifactorial intervention. Motivational interviewing is combined with electronic monitors (MEMS, Aardex MWV) report patient, physician, nurse, other pharmacists. This has become routine activity was extended for use all chronic diseases. From...
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are defined according to their diagnostic degrees as follows: asymptomatic impairment, mild disorder, and HIV-associated dementia. Because high adherence combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) is required maintain viral suppression among HIV-infected patients, it important investigate the impact of HAND on medication adherence. Our study hypothesis was that patients with had a lower than who did not have HAND.This...
Adherence to prescribed medication is suboptimal in 50% of the chronic population, resulting negative medical and economic outcomes. With widespread use mobile phones worldwide, adherence apps for become promising aids thanks simplicity, user-friendliness, accessibility public. Yet, until today, there insufficient evidence favor using health (mHealth) increase adherence. This study aims develop a methodology scientific end-user (patient) mHealth evaluation (a) identify search terms, (b)...
Background There are potential benefits to individualizing dosage in patients treated with efavirenz (EFV). We tested a simplified algorithm based on Bayesian pharmacokinetic approach for guiding dose reduction EFV concentrations above the 75th percentile (P75) documented virological efficacy. Methods designed prospective, open-label, multi-centre study. All consenting participants P75 standard were included dose-reduction cycle. Primary end point was number of who reached plasma within...
The postpartum period is a challenging time for family planning, especially women who breastfeed. Breastfeeding delays the return of menses (lactational amenorrhea), but ovulation often occurs before first menses. For this reason, protocol was developed to assist in identifying their fertility avoid pregnancy.In prospective, 12-month, longitudinal cohort study, 198 aged 20 45 years (mean age, 30.2 years) were taught avoiding pregnancy with either online or in-person instruction. A hand-held...
Background: For every 100 patients with diabetes, 40 will develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD) over time. This diabetes complication may be partly due to poor adherence their prescribed medications. In this study, we aimed evaluate the differential impact of a 6- versus 12-month pharmacist-led interprofessional medication program (IMAP) on components (i.e., implementation and discontinuation) in DKD, during after intervention. Methods: All included benefited from IMAP, which consists...
Background Oral anticancer therapies such as protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) are increasingly prescribed in cancer care. We aimed to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-led interprofessional medication adherence program (IMAP) on patient implementation (dosing history), persistence (time until premature cessation treatment) and 27 PKIs for various solid cancers, well patients’ beliefs about medicines (BAM) quality life (QoL). Methods Patients (n = 118) were randomized 1:1 into two arms. In...
