Medication adherence in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial disease
Objectives
We aimed to measure and understand medication adherence in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease.
Methods
We enrolled adults with NTM disease receiving antimycobacterial treatment at Radboudumc, the Netherlands. Demographics and treatment outcomes were recorded, and medication adherence was assessed repeatedly. Adherence was measured using the Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) at 6 and 12 months, calculated from pharmacy records, and the 5-item Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). The Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) explored reasons for (non)adherence.
Results
Sixty-one participants were enrolled, with a mean age of 63.2 (±12.9) years. Forty-one (67 %) had pulmonary, and 20 (33 %) extrapulmonary NTM disease, with M. avium complex being the most prevalent species (n = 38; 62 %). One or more adverse effects occurred in 56/61 (92 %) participants. A favorable response was seen in 34/49 (69 %) and 25/29 (86 %) participants at 6 and 12 months, respectively. The median PDC was 100 % (IQR, 99–100 %) at both timepoints, and the MARS-5 remained 5 out of 5 throughout treatment, indicating high adherence. Participants’ beliefs about the necessity of NTM treatment, as assessed in the BMQ, consistently outweighed concerns.
Conclusions
Medication adherence was high throughout the first year of NTM treatment, likely due to the perceived necessity of treatment and regular follow-up at our reference clinic.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases aims to provide a forum for clinically relevant articles on all aspects of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial infections, including (but not limited to) epidemiology, clinical investigation, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, drug-resistance and public policy, and encourages the submission of clinical studies, thematic reviews and case reports. Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Mycobacterial Diseases is an Open Access publication.
