Evaluation of an educational program on compliance with medication regimens in pediatric patients with renal transplants

The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

An educational program was initiated in an attempt to improve compliance in taking medications among pediatric renal transplant patients. Compliance was assessed by pill counts and by knowledge about medications by interview and questionnaire before, during, and after a six-month study period. Forty-three percent of the population was initially found to be in some way noncompliant with medication regimens, and 19% remained so after extensive counseling and instruction. Factors associated with noncompliance were adolescence, female sex, and family instability. Compliance was associated with direct parental involvement and voluntary maintenance of medication calendars. Although knowledge about drugs significantly improved, there was no correlation with compliance; motivational factors appeared to be of greater importance.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
