Pharmacist Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: The PRIMA-ACS Study

Abstract: Background: Despite ample evidence of benefit, adherence to secondary prevention medication therapy after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is often suboptimal. Hospital pharmacists are uniquely positioned to improve adherence by providing medication education at discharge. Objective: To determine whether a standardized counselling intervention at hospital discharge significantly improved patients’ adherence to cardiovascular medications following ACS. Methods: This single-centre, prospective, nonrandomized compar… Show more

“…Pharmacist-led consultations improved medication adherence in CVD patients compared with usual care (4.5% difference, 95% CI 0.8-8.2, P = 0.017) [77]. Another standardized counseling intervention by pharmacists at hospital discharge of ACS patients showed (1) an increased medication adherence at 1 year (11.9% non-counseling receivers vs. 18.4% counseling receivers, P = 0.19) and (2) decreased cardiovascular readmission and all-cause mortality (17.6% intervention vs. 22.3% usual care, P = 0.42; and 3.4% intervention vs. 4.2% usual care, P > 0.99, respectively) [97].…”
