“…Good compliance with medication might also be associated with contracting COVID-19. There is an increased risk of SARS-CoV-2 in hospital and health care settings, particularly for those who are not well protected against viral airborne transmission [18,19]. There is good evidence that outpatient clinic rooms have poor ventilation systems [20], and an assessment of DM clinics in China demonstrated inadequate implementation of measures to prevent airborne transmission of respiratory pathogens [21].…”

Compliance with medication in persons with diabetes mellitus (DM) has been a challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to poor glycemic control and higher risk of complications. In the state of Kerala, India, 20–25% of adults have DM. Our cross-sectional study aimed to assess medication compliance and factors associated with poor compliance in DM persons attending selected primary care government facilities in Kerala during the COVID-19 pandemic. Persons registered with DM for >6 months were consecutively interviewed between August and September 2021. Poor compliance was defined as answering “No” to one or more of three questions related to access and intake of medication two weeks prior to and the day before the interview. Factors independently associated with poor compliance were assessed using adjusted prevalence ratios (aPr) and 95% confidence intervals. Of the 560 DM persons included, 209 (37%) exhibited poor compliance. Factors associated with poor compliance were age 19–45 years (aPr 1.4, 1.1–1.9); inability to be blood glucose tested during the COVID-19 pandemic (aPr 3.6, 2.9–4.3); not having COVID-19 (aPr 1.4, 1.0–1.9); and being double vaccinated against COVID-19 (aPr 1.4, 1.1–2.0). Focused attention must be paid to these groups to improve medication compliance and prevent DM complications and severe COVID-19-related disease.

“… 1 , 2 , 3 Patients who visit the clinic multiple times and medical staff who treat patients repeatedly must wear a mask to avoid a cumulative risk of infection. 4 As the voice assessment procedures, except for visual inspection of the larynx, are carried out wearing face masks, speech signals produced by the patients can be somehow affected. 5 , 6 Therefore, the clinical reliability of voice signals and acoustic measures produced while wearing masks has considerable critical attention.…”
