Rate of hepatitis C reinfection after successful direct-acting antivirals treatment among people who inject drugs in Spain: the LIVERate study.

Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection following successful treatment threatens the achievement of HCV elimination. The primary aim of this study is to assess reinfection rate three years after sustained virologic response (SVR) in people who inject drugs (PWID) that are on opioid agonist treatment (OAT) who underwent anti-HCV treatment with interferon-free regimens.

Methods: Observational, non-interventional, prospective, descriptive study carried out in Spanish tertiary public hospitals between 2017 and 2022.

Different Associations of Intentional and Non-Intentional Non-Adherence Behaviors with Patient Experience with Healthcare and Patient Beliefs in Medications: A Survey of Patients with Chronic Conditions.

Purpose: To investigate relationships between intentional and non-intentional non-adherence behaviors and patient experience with healthcare and beliefs in medications.

Patients And Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of a cross-sectional anonymous survey distributed between May and September 2017 to patients with rheumatic disease, inflammatory bowel disease, HIV infection or diabetes mellitus from outpatient and primary care clinics in Spain. Patients answered five questions about non-adherence behaviors and completed questionnaires on their experience with healthcare (IEXPAC: Instrument to Evaluate the EXperience of PAtients with Chronic diseases) and beliefs about medicines (BMQ: Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire).

Association between non-adherence behaviors, patients' experience with healthcare and beliefs in medications: a survey of patients with different chronic conditions.

The objective of the current work was to assess the frequency of non-adherence behaviors and potential association with patients' experience with healthcare and beliefs in medicines self-reported by patients with four different chronic conditions. Patients responded anonymously to a survey comprising five non-adherence behaviors (based on physician and patient input), an assessment of patients' experience with healthcare using the validated Instrument to Evaluate the EXperience of PAtients with Chronic diseases (IEXPAC), and a validated Spanish version of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ). Associations of non-adherence behavior were analyzed using logistic regression models.
