The phrase "accurate adherence" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the importance of following rules, guidelines, or standards precisely.
Example: "The success of the project depends on the accurate adherence to safety protocols throughout the construction process."
Alternatives: "precise compliance" or "exact following".
For trials of user-dependent HIV prevention products, accurate adherence measurements are essential to interpret and compare results across trials.
More accurate adherence monitoring, such as can be achieved through a real-time approach, may help prioritize limited resources for HIV RNA monitoring to those at increased risk for viral bound.
MEMS has been shown to be a more accurate adherence measure than self-report and provides the exact time that the cap was removed [ 7], provided that it is used correctly; i.e. closed promptly after removal without periods of it being kept open.
Even if this measure overestimates true adherence, it was nevertheless strongly associated with mortality, indicating that the effect of true adherence would likely be even greater if this could have been measured using other more accurate adherence measures, such as electronic monitoring devices such as MEMSCAPS.
As previously seen, this method would be expected to create more accurate reports of adherence than previous adherence studies that depended on participant's retrospective recall of their session.
Whilst a standardised and accurate measure for adherence remains undefined, future adherence studies may benefit from utilising multiple methods to quantify and classify adherence in parallel to help clarify true adherence levels.
However doctors in routine daily clinical practice are not accurate in assessing adherence and even if adherence is assessed, this information is seldom recorded.
We have shown that daily logs may be an accurate measure of adherence, as verified with electronically recorded adherence.
The accurate monitoring of adherence rates is important as it enables poor adherence to be detected and acted upon [ 8].
The collection of accurate data on adherence and sexual behaviour is crucial in microbicide (and other HIV-related) research.
The Microbicides Development Programme has developed a mixed method/triangulation model for generating more accurate data on adherence and sexual behaviour.
