Factors Associated With Nonadherence to Thiopurines in Adolescent and Adult Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Kamperidis N et al. – Adolescents are more frequently nonadherent than adults: prospective studies are required to determine the reasons for nonadherence in adolescents.
Methods- The authors sought factors associated with thiopurine nonadherence defined by thiopurine metabolite levels.
- Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that adolescents (odds ratio [OR] 4.6 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.9–11.5]; P<0.01) compared with adults, patients with Crohn disease (OR 3.3 [CI 1.1–10.5] P=0.04) compared with ulcerative colitis, and patients living in more socially deprived areas (OR 1.03 [CI 1.0–1.1] P=0.02) were more likely to be nonadherent to thiopurines.
