STUDY OBJECTIVES: To test variables associated with the Health Belief Model, the @entity1 Satisfaction Model, and @entity1 demographics in predicting compliance with @entity1229 therapy. DESIGN: Descriptive study using chart and pharmacy database review as well as @entity1 questionnaires. SETTING: Outpatient anticoagulation clinic in an academic medical center. @entity1 : Seventy-five @entity1 who had received @entity1229 therapy over the previous 6 months. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Clinicians interviewed @entity1 using a subscale of the Beliefs About Anticoagulation Survey and a @entity1 Satisfaction Model. Perceived barriers to compliance with @entity1229 therapy and marital status explained 21.7% of the variance in calculations of refill adherence (p<0.001). Compliance with @entity1229 therapy was assessed using a validated compliance self-report survey and outpatient pharmacy dispensing data. Perceived barriers and current living conditions explained 33.2% of the variance in self-reported noncompliance (p<0.001). Logistic regression analysis, conducted to attempt to predict @entity1 with an 80% refill adherence threshold, correctly classified compliance 85.3% of the time. CONCLUSION: This investigation provided some insight into the factors predictive of noncompliance in a @entity258 , outpatient population. Perceived barriers, marital status, living arrangements, and drug regimen played significant roles in @entity1229 noncompliance. Our results provide more evidence supporting the use of refill adherence and @entity1 self-report as measures of noncompliance. This linkage helps validate compliance as a useful surrogate of @entity1 health outcomes. This study also offers a model that can help clinicians identify @entity1 at significant risk of noncompliant behavior.
