Objective To investigate the medication adherence to antihypertensives, antidiabetics, and lipid-lowering agents and its influence on the prognosis of individuals at high risk of stroke. Methods A total of 16892 residents aged 40 years or above in eight communities in Sichuan participated in a face-to-face study from May to September 2015. A database of a high-risk population of stroke in Sichuan province was established, and data were collected via using a standardized structured questionnaire by experienced investigators, including the treatment status and medication compliance of participants with hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia during the follow-up period. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the influencing factors of medication adherence and its influence on the prognosis of individuals at high risk of stroke. Results A total of 2893 participants at high risk of stroke were enrolled. The treatment rates of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were 50.1%, 49.2%, and 5.1%, respectively, when the high-risk individuals were identified. At the end of follow-up (with a median follow-up period of 4.8 years), the treatment rates of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were 24.8%, 25.0%, and 7.9%, respectively. Medication adherence to antihypertensives, antidiabetics, and lipid-lowering agents were 27.8%, 25.5%, and 18.1%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that the education level of high school or above [odds ratio (OR)=2.134, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.098, 4.147), P=0.025], medical insurance for urban residents [OR=1.556, 95%CI (1.086, 2.230), P=0.016] and urban employees [OR=2.325, 95%CI (1.362, 3.967), P=0.002], having fewer children [OR=0.819, 95%CI (0.719, 0.933), P=0.003], and family history of stroke [OR=1.559, 95%CI (1.066, 2.282), P=0.022] were associated with greater adherence to antihypertensives; medical insurance for urban employees was associated with greater adherence to antidiabetics [OR=2.494, 95%CI (1.173, 5.300), P=0.018]. After adjusting for confounding factors, failure to regular use of antihypertensives [OR=2.617, 95%CI (1.414, 4.842), P=0.002], antidiabetics [OR=3.909, 95%CI (2.394, 6.380), P<0.001], and lipid-lowering agents [OR=4.828, 95%CI (2.581, 9.033), P<0.001] in patients with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, respectively were associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke during the follow-up period. Regular use of lipid-lowering agents in patients with dyslipidemia was associated with an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage during the follow-up [OR=4.371, 95%CI (1.156, 16.530), P=0.030]. Conclusions The prevalences of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are high in high-risk individuals of stroke in Sichuan province. However, the treatment rates are unsatisfactory, and the medication adherence is poor. The medication adherence is affected by a variety of demographic and socioeconomic factors. Regular treatments of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in individuals at high risk of stroke, but regular use of lipid-lowering agents in patients with dyslipidemia is associated with an increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage during the follow-up.
目的 分析华西医院门诊患者对挂号单上就诊信息的知晓和依从情况及其影响因素，以进一步优化就诊流程，提高患者满意度。 方法 将2012年2月5日－2月10日就诊的患者作为调查对象，采用方便抽样法和问卷面对面访谈法对739例就诊者进行调查，并运用R×C列联表χ2检验分析其影响因素。 结果 90.7%的患者能够积极阅读挂号单上的信息，并依照信息顺利就诊。但也有部分患者因文化程度及医院服务疏漏导致无法顺利就诊。 结论 应该加大对文化程度偏低者和老年患者的宣传指导，改进医院服务方式，完善就诊信息系统功能，进一步提高医院服务水平。
ObjectiveTo retrospectively collect data on patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and explore the current status of medication adherence and its main influencing factors in China.MethodsAccording to the principle of convenience, 293 patients with COPD were enrolled in 16 tertiary hospitals located in Nanjing, Hefei, Wuhu, Xuzhou, and Chuzhou. The status quo and influencing factors of medication adherence in COPD patients were identified and analyzed by using the 8-item Morisky Drug Compliance Scale, Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and modified British Medical Research Council. The analysis was based on the framework provided by the WHO’s "five-dimensional determinants" and the mathematical relationship was demonstrated through sequential logistic regression analysis. ResultsThe medication adherence of the target population is 11.95%. A higher socio-economic status [odds ratio (OR) 0.30, 95% confidential interval (CI) 0.10 - 0.91], patients’ general beliefs about the medication utility (OR 0.29, 95%CI 0.17 - 0.50) and overuse (OR 0.30, 95%CI 0.16 - 0.55) were associated with a lower chance of being adherent in patients with COPD. While disease severity (OR 2.01, 95%CI 1.11 - 3.64) and types of drug use (OR 1.91, 95%CI 1.07 - 3.41) presented opposite results. ConclusionsMedication adherence in domestic patients with COPD is not satisfactory at the present stage. Effective ways to improve patients’ medication adherence and quality of life could be proposed from the national, living environment and individual three dimensions.
Objective To analyze the risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods From May 2015 to October 2016, 92 hypertension patients with cerebral hemorrhage (group A) were enrolled; simultaneously, 110 hypertension patients without cerebral hemorrhage (group B) were included. We analyzed retrospectively the clinical data of two groups and the risk factors of hypertension complicated with cerebral hemorrhage. Results The results of univariate analysis showed that the ratios of patients in group A with the following indexes, >65 years old, body mass index >30 kg/m2, >7-year smoking history, triglyceride level >1.7 mmol/L, cholesterol level >5.72 mmol/L, high density lipoprotein level >0.9 mmol/L, and bad medication compiance, were much more higher than those in group B (P<0.05). The rusults of multivariate analysis showed that smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, hypertension history, triglycerides level, cholesterol level, bad medication compliance were the risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage (P<0.05). Conclusions The risk factors of hypertension combined with cerebral hemorrhage include smoking history, diabetes mellitus history, hypertension history, triglyceride level, cholesterol level, and medication compliance. We shoud pay more attention to these factors in clinical practice.
目的 探讨心理行为干预对痛风患者遵医行为的影响。 方法 2006年1月－2010年9月，选取痛风患者190例，随机分为干预组和对照组，两组均进行遵医行为评价和疾病相关检查；对干预组进行认知行为干预，分析患者存在的痛风饮食治疗的认知误区，有针对性地进行心理行为干预。 结果 干预后，干预组认知行为总分和各单项分均高于对照组（P＜0.05），胆固醇、甘油三酯和体质量指数均低于对照组（P＜0.05）；干预组19例（20.0%）复发，对照组36例（37.9%）复发，两组复发率比较，差异有统计学意义（χ2=7.390，P=0.007）。 结论 行为认知治疗可提高痛风患者的治疗依从性，从而有助于改善尿酸等相关指标。
