To define the main features of patients treated with oral antidiabetics, evaluating monotherapy (MT), loose-dose combination therapy (LDCT) and fixed-dose combination therapy (FDCT); to describe medication adherence to the different therapies; and to evaluate the differences in compliance with the prescribed therapy regimen among prevalent and incident patient cohorts.
For example, we do not know which measured or unmeasured factors (e.g. differences in compliance, nutrition or physical activity) may have led to the different BP values at baseline and to what extent these factors resulted in a greater decrease of systolic BP values in DMP patients during the time span of the study.
There were no differences in compliance and mean airway pressures.
There were no differences in compliance by age, gender, or organ injured.
While this was a single-site study, the sample size exceeded requirements to detect significant differences in compliance over time.
