Abstract
Background Adherence to treatment is important to achieve target outcomes, particularly for those with type 2 diabetes. Pharmacists are well placed to enhance adherence, however evidence of the impact on clinical outcomes is not well known. Objective To determine the impact of an adherence support service on adherence scores and subsequent clinical biomarkers (HbA1c). Setting Community pharmacies providing a Medicines Use Review (MUR) Service in a New Zealand locality. Methods Records of patients receiving MURs between 2007 and 2012 were obtained from a single locality. Data extraction included: individual characteristics, the adherence score assigned at every consultation, pathology records. Patients receiving oral hypoglycaemic medications (n = 86) were included in the final analysis using generalised estimating equations to explore change in HbA1c over time, and whether this was related to the adherence score. Main Outcome Measures (a) change in adherence scores and (b) association between adherence sores and HbA1c. Results A total of 350 records were obtained, of those, 115 of 350 people had follow up MUR visit/s and could be analysed for changes in adherence. Most people (110/115) showed sustained or improved adherence sco...Continue Reading
