Primary Nonadherence to Antiplatelet Therapy after Revascularization

Abstract

month after discharge is 58%, and rapidly decreased to 22% three months later. Most of the patients (73.1%) were classified in to non-adherent (MPR< 40%), 20.5% patients adherence were medium (40%≤ MPR< 80%), only 6.4% patients adherence were good (MPR≥ 80%).It is found that gender, hospital level, medical history, comorbidities have significant association with statin adherence. In recursive partitioning analysis, patients combined with specific characteristics (no-diabetes & female & nohypertension) have poorest statin adherence. While in another subgroup (patients combined diabetes and some other CVD & treated in high-level hospitals) statin adherence was best. ConCluSionS: Statin adherence in Chinese ASCVD patients was very poor compared with developed countries. It is urgent to take actions to improve the status. Physicians and patients education may be important and effective way to be carried out.
