Aim:
To quantitatively evaluate features of adherence to treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Omsk region in conditions of real clinical practice. Materials and methods: in a prospective controlled study in 137 patients with AF 35-85 years quantitatively examined adherence to treatment and its structure. Statistical processing of data were performed using parametric (Student's t-test) and nonparametric (Wald-Wolfowitz, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson) analysis.
Materials And Methods:
In a prospective controlled study in 137 patients with AF 35-85 years quantitatively examined adherence to treatment and its structure. Statistical processing of data were performed using parametric (Student's t-test) and nonparametric (Wald-Wolfowitz, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson) analysis.
Results:
The most committed to treatment of AF patients older than 65 years. Regardless of age women are more committed to treatment than men. With increasing severity of AF symptoms in men, reduced adherence to treatment, in women is increasing commitment to the modification of lifestyle and drug therapy. In patients with paroxysmal AF adherence to drug therapy is higher than with a constant form. The increase in the number of comorbidities in men and women accompanied by a growing commitment to the modification of lifestyle and drug therapy, with a decrease in women adherence to medical support. If patients with AF the amount of medication increases, reduced adherence to medical support.
Conclusion:
Quantitative structural analysis of adherence to treatment in patients with AF identified previously do not consider the characteristics associated with gender, age, disease and drug therapy significantly influence treatment outcome.
