A General Method of Compliance Assessment Using Centralized Pharmacy Records: Description and Validation
Abstract
The prescription refill records of centralized pharmacies are a potential source of information about patient compliance with long-term medications. We developed a method for assessing compliance in such settings and validated our measures using pharmacy data and clinical information from patients with seizure disorders and hypertension. For patients taking the anticonvulsant medication phenytoin, compliance with the drug correlated significantly with mean plasma phenytoin level. For patients on antihypertensive medications, compliance with the treatment regimen correlated with control of diastolic blood pressure. Many patients (15% in the phenytoin validation, and 33% in the blood pressure validation) obtained substantial oversupplies of medications; for these patients, the direct relationship between compliance and drug effect was not evident. A majority of seizure patients with "subtherapeutic" mean plasma phenytoin levels were identified as noncompliant using our measures. We conclude that our method of assessing compliance in obtaining medications is feasible in "managed care" settings, appears to be a valid correlate of drug effects, and may be useful in research and patient care.

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.
