To include participants lost to follow-up in the analysis, we adopted a broader definition of non-adherence in which delayed or missed scheduled visits and reported infant deaths were treated as non-adherence (secondary definition).
Three patterns of treatment non-adherence have been observed in patients: (1) erratic non-adherence, often due to forgetfulness; (2) unwitting non-adherence, due to a limited understanding of the treatment regimen; and (3) intelligent non-adherence, in which the patient's health beliefs prompt a conscious decision not to adhere to the treatment.
For modelling purposes, it will be measured as a dichotomous variable (adherent vs non-adherent) in which adherence is defined by an individual who reports ≥80% compliance with prescribed dosing.
3) Lu et al [ 13] designed an adherence questionnaire in which the previous month's adherence was asked about in three different ways: frequency (eg none of the time; a little of the time;… all the time),percentage (0%; 10%; 20% … 100%) and rating their ability to take their medication as prescribed (very poor; poor; … excellent) (see Additional file 1: appendix 4).
These results demonstrated the complexity of adherence in UC, which seemed to differ between individuals.
It is essential to continue monitoring HAART uptake and adherence in China, which will help to save lives.
Later on, ASCs are isolated from the SVF by plastic adherence in culture, which can easily be cultured and expanded in vitro [ 145, 149, 150].
Measurement-Guided Medication Management (MGMM) of adherence may be an approach to enhance adherence to medications in which reliable, detailed, recent, electronically compiled drug dosing history data are provided as feedback to the patient on his/her adherence to prescribed medications.
We therefore did four additional per protocol analyses to investigate non-adherence according to less stringent rules, including an analysis in which adherence to TENS was defined without consideration of adherence to exercise (supplementary tables A and B).
