Recall of Recommendations and Adherence to Advice Among Patients With Chronic Medical Conditions
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patient adherence to treatment regimens may be a critical mediator between physician recommendations and patient outcomes, but levels of adherence have not been compared across disease groups, and patient self-reports have not been well validated. METHODS: To determine recall of and adherence to physicians' recommendations among patients with chronic medical conditions and to measure the correspondence between self-reported adherence and disease activity, we analyzed data from the Medical Outcomes Study. A total of 1751 patients with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and heart disease were identified among 20,223 patients visiting family physicians, general internists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists in 1986. Main outcome measures included recall of 15 disease-specific recommendations, self-reported general and specific adherence, and correlations between adherence and clinical measures of disease activity and control. RESULTS: Among patients in all three disease groups, the proportion recalling recommendations to take prescribed medications (> or = 90%) exceeded the fraction recalling recommendations to follow a restricted diet, exercise regularly, and perform various self-care activities (22% to 84%). Adherence to recalled recommendations was similar across conditions but varied markedly according to the nature of the recommendations; for example, 91% of diabetics took prescribed medications but 69% followed a diabetics diet and 19% engaged in regular exercise. Adherence to recommendations was correlated with reduced serum glucose (r = -.33) and glycohemoglobin (r = -.25) levels among insulin-dependent diabetics and with reduced diastolic blood pressure among patients with hypertension (r = -.15). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of chronically ill patients failed to recall elements of potentially important medical advice and did not always adhere to advice that was recalled. Self-reported adherence was correlated with clinical measures of disease activity and control. Additional research is needed not only to improve adherence to medical advice in patients with chronic illnesses but also to determine which life-style changes are truly beneficial for these patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
