Scoring Adherence in Hemophilia Care and Comparing It to Quality of Life (QofL).

Abstract: Non-adherence to home based treatment even 10% of the time in hemophilia care may portend a poor outcome and long-range quality of life issues, despite a still enormous financial cost. This study was a rigorous effort to quantify adherence and then compare it to QofL. 79 subjects with hemophilia (48 >18-years and 31<18-years) participated in the study and completed the SF-36 or Child Health Questionnaire (validated QofL forms). Subjects were either using on-demand (OD) treatment regimens or on hi… Show more

“…Low adherence to medication has been associated with poor outcomes, even with placebo, and poor adherence also contributes to increased health care costs [1,3]. DuTreil et al [4] hypothesize that even 10% non-adherence with factor infusions may predict poor joint outcome and quality-of-life [4]. Thus, improving adherence with infusions should improve the clinical outcome.…”
