Role of caregivers on medication adherence management in polymedicated patients with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia
Open accessAbstract
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other dementia patients may have severe difficulties to ensure medication adherence due to their generally advanced age, polymedicated and multi-pathological situations as well as certain degree of cognitive impairment. Thus, the role of patient caregivers becomes crucial to warrantee treatment compliance. Purpose: To assess the factors associated to patients and caregivers on medication adherence of patients with AD and other types of dementia as well as the degree of caregiver satisfaction with respect to treatment. Methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study among the caregivers of 100 patients with AD and other types of dementia of the “Cartagena and Region Association of Relatives of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease and other Neurodegenerative Diseases” was conducted to assess patient and caregiver factors that influence medication adherence evaluated with the Morisky-Green-Levine test. Results: Overall, adherence to treatment was 71%, with similar proportions between male and female patients. Greater adherence was found in married or widowed patients (49.3%), first degree (85.9%) or female (81.7%) caregivers but lower in AD patients (75.9%). Multivariate analysis showed a statistically significant positive association between non-adherence and male sex of the caregiver (OR 3.512 [95%IC 1.124–10.973]), dementia (OR 3.065 [95%IC 1.019–9.219]), type of caregiver (non-first-degree relative) (OR 0.325 [95%IC 0.054–0.672]) and civil status of the patient (OR 2.011 [95%IC 1.155–3.501]) favorable for married or widowed patients. No or week association was found with gender, age, education level, number of drugs used or polymedicated status of the patient. Caregivers considered the use (90%) and administration (91%) of the treatment easy or very easy and rarely interfered with their daily life, especially for female caregivers (p = 0.016). Finally, 71% indicated that they were satisfied or very satisfied with the treatment received by the patient. Conclusions: Caregivers influence therapeutic management with predictors for improved adherence including female gender and first-degree kinship, together with patient's marital status. Thus, training caregivers about the disease and the importance of medication adherence in AD patients may ensure optimal treatment.

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.
