  • It analyzed 70 patients aged 18 and older, finding an overall QI adherence of 62.29% and a care satisfaction score of 100, but no significant correlation between the two (r = 0.064, p = 0.599).
  • Patients in remission showed better compliance with QIs compared to those with moderate to high disease activity, indicating that disease status may impact quality of care adherence.
