The phrase "adherence threshold" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to compliance, standards, or limits regarding behavior or performance.
Example: "The study established an adherence threshold to ensure that participants followed the treatment protocol effectively."
Alternatives: "compliance limit" or "commitment level".
The adherence threshold required to achieve durable viral suppression has declined with more potent regimens, such that the majority of patients in clinical practice are now able to maintain undetectable viral loads at adherence proportions as low as 70% [4] [7 ]
48 49 Is it time then, to revisit the desired adherence threshold for virological suppression?
Antidepressant medication adherence threshold will be set at 80% of pills consumed.
This approach exceeds the 95% adherence threshold required for sustained HIV viral suppression [ 74- 77].
The proportion of each study cohort above the adherence threshold of 80% was compared using the Chi-square test.
In contrast to the present study, they concluded that NMES was not an acceptable treatment based on a pre-defined 80% group adherence threshold [ 18].
Thus, future research might consider the effects of illicit drug use on attaining different adherence thresholds and viral suppression.
Newer formulations of ART are more potent and evidence suggests they may deliver comparable rates of viral suppression at lower adherence thresholds [ 24, 25].
In addition to reporting the mean (SD) MPR achieved, we also reported the numbers and percentages of patients achieving various adherence thresholds (ie, MPRs of 1.0 0.95, 0.94 0.90, 0.89 0.85 and 0.84 0.80, corresponding to 100 95%, 94 90%, 89 85% and 84 80% adherence, respectively).
Compared with patients using antiretroviral regimens that contain two or more pills per day, single-tablet regimen recipients were more likely to achieve optimal adherence thresholds and the risk of hospitalization was 25% lower.
There is no consensus in the literature about an appropriate cut-off for adherence as thresholds for treatment efficacy are not known.
