Background: Adherence is a factor in the outcome of medical treatment, but the strength and moderators of the adherence-outcome association have not been systematically assessed.
Objectives: A quantitative review using meta-analysis of three decades of empirical research correlating adherence with objective measures of treatment outcomes.
Method: Sixty-three studies assessing patient adherence and outcomes of medical treatment were found involving medical regimens recommended by a nonpsychiatrist physician, and measuring patient adherence and health outcomes.
