Abstract
Introduction
Adherence is a modifiable factor to disease-modifying treatments response in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Our objective is to assess the risk factors associated with inadequate adherence.
Method
Retrospective study through review of medical records and review of the database of pharmaceutical dispensing of patients with MS of a tertiary hospital from 2004 to 2022. A multivariate logistic regression analysis of demographic, clinical, nosological, and therapeutic factors was performed between adherent and non-adherent patients and treatments.
Result
546 treatments of 284 patients (67.3% women, age 38.4 ± 10.0 years) were analyzed, observing 87.5% adherence. Non-adherent patients presented a higher EDSS at the end of treatment, were more frequently patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, and had a higher proportion of cognitive impairment, psychiatric pathology, polypharmacy, and alcohol and drug use. After the multivariable analysis, risk factors were cognitive impairment (OR: 3.82 [1.51-9.70], P = .005), and alcohol and drug use (OR: 22.83 [7.32-71.20], P < .001). On the contrary, oral drugs favored better adherence (OR: 0.29 [0.12-0.75], P = .01).
Conclusions
Among many factors, alcohol or drug use and cognitive impairment are the major risk factors for low therapeutic adherence in patients with MS.

Neurología es la revista oficial de la Sociedad Española de Neurología y publica, desde 1986 contribuciones científicas en el campo de la neurología clínica y experimental. Los contenidos de Neurología abarcan desde la neuroepidemiología, la clínica neurológica, la gestión y asistencia neurológica y la terapéutica, a la investigación básica en neurociencias aplicada a la neurología. Las áreas temáticas de la revistas incluyen la neurologia infantil, la neuropsicología, la neurorehabilitación y la neurogeriatría. Los artículos publicados en Neurología siguen un proceso de revisión por doble ciego a fin de que los trabajos sean seleccionados atendiendo a su calidad, originalidad e interés y así estén sometidos a un proceso de mejora. El formato de artículos incluye Editoriales, Originales, Revisiones y Cartas al Editor, Neurología es el vehículo de información científica de reconocida calidad en profesionales interesados en la neurología que utilizan el español, como demuestra su inclusión en los más prestigiosos y selectivos índices bibliográficos del mundo.
