Abstract

Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory condition with debilitating manifestations that adversely affect patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The clinical course is complicated by patients' low medication adherence level. Low adherence and poor HRQoL are linked to unfavorable disease outcomes. Although many factors affect adherence and HRQoL in COPD, the impact of adherence on HRQoL remain controversial. This study aimed to measure medication adherence and its impact on HRQoL in patients with COPD.

Patients and methods: This cross-sectional observational study included patients with COPD from two health centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Patients were identified using the medical database and only those fulfilling the GOLD 2020 criteria for COPD diagnosis were recruited. Data were collected via phone interviews and included sociodemographic information, the level of medication adherence assessed using the 5-item Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5), and the HRQoL measured using the St. George Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD (SGRQ-C). Simple and multiple-regression analysis was used to study the factors affecting both parameters and the relation between adherence and HRQoL.

Results: The mean MARS-5 score was 21.17± 4.8 (mean ± SD) with only 56.4% of patients with COPD reporting high adherence to their medications. The average total SGRQ score was 51.35 ± 23.82 indicating low HRQoL. Using multiple-regression analysis, comorbidity and intermediate disease duration were associated with lower adherence, while older age, female gender, polypharmacy, and concomitant hypertension predicted lower HRQoL. Moreover, higher adherence to medications was associated with higher overall HRQoL in patients with COPD.

Conclusion: Patients with COPD have low medication adherence and low HRQoL. Several patient-, disease-, and therapy-related factors were shown to affect both outcomes; however, higher adherence to medication per se was associated with higher HRQoL in patients with COPD.

COPD患者药物依从性与健康相关生活质量之间的关系:一项横断面研究
目的:慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)是一种进行性呼吸系统疾病,具有衰弱性表现,对患者健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)产生不利影响。由于患者的药物依从性较低,临床过程变得复杂。低依从性和较差的HRQoL与不利的疾病结局有关。尽管许多因素影响COPD患者的依从性和HRQoL,但依从性对HRQoL的影响仍存在争议。本研究旨在测量COPD患者的药物依从性及其对HRQoL的影响。患者和方法:这项横断面观察性研究包括来自沙特阿拉伯利雅得两家卫生中心的COPD患者。使用医学数据库确定患者,仅招募符合GOLD 2020 COPD诊断标准的患者。通过电话访谈收集数据,包括社会人口学信息,使用5项药物依从性报告量表(MARS-5)评估的药物依从性水平,以及使用圣乔治COPD呼吸问卷(SGRQ-C)测量的HRQoL。采用简单回归分析和多元回归分析研究影响这两个参数的因素以及依从性与HRQoL的关系。结果:平均MARS-5评分为21.17±4.8 (mean±SD),只有56.4%的COPD患者报告高依从性。平均SGRQ总分为51.35±23.82,HRQoL较低。通过多元回归分析,合并症和中间病程与较低的依从性相关,而年龄较大、女性、多种药物和合并高血压预测较低的HRQoL。此外,更高的药物依从性与COPD患者更高的总体HRQoL相关。结论:慢性阻塞性肺病患者药物依从性低,HRQoL较低。一些与患者、疾病和治疗相关的因素被证明会影响这两种结果;然而,较高的药物依从性本身与COPD患者较高的HRQoL相关。
