Low therapeutic adherence (intake of less than 75% of pills) was observed in 30.4% (7/23) and the most incidents of adverse effects were nausea (25.8%), heartburn (21.5%) and constipation (17.2%).
Women who do not achieve the minimum adherence (intake of 30 pills = 1200 mg of elemental iron) will not be evaluated for the 'responsiveness to therapeutic test with oral iron'.
In conclusion, echium oil supplementation was feasible, well-tolerated and – despite moderate adherence – intake resulted in the anticipated increase of erythrocyte EPA and DGLA, without a significant increase in AA.
Whereas adherence to intake and activity were discussed in groups, data were not collected in any standardized manner.
Potential mediators (e.g., treatment adherence, caloric intake, physical activity level) and moderators (e.g., age, gender, country of origin, baseline mental status) of the intervention's effect on weight change also will be examined.
Potential mediators (e.g., treatment adherence, caloric intake, physical activity level) and moderators (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity, baseline mental status) of the intervention's effect on weight change also will be examined.
The most frequently mentioned were HF-related knowledge, self-management behaviors/skills (such as medication adherence, sodium intake, identify symptoms of deterioration, problem solving), barriers for self-management, and patient-reported needs and preferences.
Potential mediators (e.g., treatment adherence, caloric intake, physical activity level) and moderators (e.g., age, gender, race/ethnicity, baseline mental status) of the intervention effects on weight change and secondary outcomes will be explored.
The greater adherence to intake of DBs over time may have been due to the variety of flavors (36) or similar properties to the caloric beverage (eg, caffeinated), which suggests that it may be easier for consumers of caloric beverages to replace their beverages with noncaloric sweetened alternatives.
● Drug adherence: multiple intakes due to forgetfulness are checked in addition to other adherence categories (e.g., complete discontinuation, drug holidays, and single skipped dosages).
The fraction of initially adherent patients with a daily intake adherence ≥90% was lower compared with daily adherence reflecting that adherence is lower during intake than rest periods.
