Abstract

Non-adherence to medicine is common in patients with chronic diseases, contributing to significant worsening of disease, increased mortality and health expenditure. Methods of measuring adherence include self report, prescription refill rates, biomarkers, electronic monitoring and therapeutic outcomes. Yet, no "gold standard" for assessing adherence and no consensus on what is an acceptable level exist. Physicians should be aware of non-adherence and, although it may not always be identical with the evidence-based regimen, they can facilitate good adherence by simplifying regimens and adapting treatments to the patient's lifestyle and preferences.

Abstract

Medicine adherence in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), has not been studied in Denmark. Studies from other countries, however, unequivocally report low prevalence of patients who follow their doctor's advice and have sufficient adherence to inhaled medicine. In this review we describe results of previous studies on prevalence of adherence to inhaled medicine in COPD, and define characteristics of the patients and treatment associated with degree of adherence. We conclude that health professionals should always consider non-adherence, strive to simplify regiments, and that there is an urgent need of studies aiming at improving adherence in patients with COPD.

Abstract

The aim of The Cerebral Palsy Register is to follow the development of cerebral palsy in East Denmark as reported from the children's departments within the area. The prevalence among Danish children born in 1971-1982 is reported. Postnatal cases have been excluded. The live-birth prevalence has increased from 1.7 per 1000 in 1971-1974 to 2.3 per 1000 in 1979-1982. An increased proportion with birthweight under 2500 g and neuroimpairment was found in the latest birth year period. A re-evaluation of diagnostic information confirmed the increasing trend of the prevalence. Preterm births were dominated by perinatal etiology, while term births equally often had a prenatal etiology. It is worrying that the prevalence is rising and that the children have more disabilities. The reason for the increasing trend is most probably due to the decreasing neonatal mortality.
