Background: Nonadherence to medical treatment in transplant recipients is a major risk factor for graft rejection episodes, and it has significant financial implications. Despite its importance, there is a lack of common understanding across the disciplines involved of the key issues driving nonadherence.
Methods: A qualitative study, comprising a multidisciplinary workshop, followed by a consultation exercise to validate its outcomes, was initiated to gain further insight into nonadherence behavior and to identify priorities for optimizing adherence to posttransplantation regimens.
