Introduction: The benefit of secondary prevention in hypertensive patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is based on continual simultaneous taking of statins, antiplatelet agents and antihypertensive agents, preferably angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). Our study was aimed at a) the analysis of the extent of non-persistence with multiple medication classes, and b) identifying factors associated with the likelihood of non-persistence.
Methods: In our cohort study, 3,401 hypertensive patients (1,853 females and 1,548 males) aged ≥65 years treated simultaneously with statins, antiplatelet agents and ACEIs/ARBs and in whom PAD was newly diagnosed during 2012 were analysed.

Background: Treatment inertia, non-adherence and non-persistence to medical treatment contribute to poor blood pressure (BP) control worldwide. Fixed dose combination (FDC) antihypertensive medicines simplify prescribing patterns and improve adherence. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with prescribing FDC antihypertensive medicines and to understand if these factors differ among doctors worldwide.

Aims: To assess adherence and persistence to sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA), and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) in routine care.
Methods: Using retrospective healthcare data from the Stockholm region, Sweden, we evaluated new-users of these agents during 2015-2020. We investigated adherence (≥80 % of days covered by an active supply), persistence (no treatment gap ≥ 60 days), and predictors for non-adherence and non-persistence.

Purpose: To evaluate the real-world rates of non-adherence and non-persistence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among treatment-naïve adult patients with HIV after a 12-month follow-up period in Belgium.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of longitudinal pharmacy claims was conducted using the Pharmanet database from January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2021. Non-adherence was assessed over 12 months and reported as the proportion of days covered below the 80% threshold.

Introduction: Diabetes is associated with a number of complications, particularly if glycaemic targets are not achieved. Glycaemic control is highly linked to treatment persistence and adherence. To understand the burden of poor persistence and adherence, this systematic literature review identified existing evidence regarding basal insulin adherence/non-adherence and persistence/non-persistence among people with diabetes in Western Europe (defined as the UK, France, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ireland, Austria, Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Germany, Iceland and Belgium).
