Monitoring adherence to beclomethasone in asthmatic children and adolescents through four different methods
Allergy, 09/24/09

Jentzsch NS et al. – Adherence was a dynamic event and rates decreased progressively for all methods over the 12–month follow–up. Canister weight and electronic monitoring measures were more accurate than self/parent reports and pharmacy records. Rates obtained by these two methods were very close and statistical analysis also showed a substantial agreement between them. As measurements by canister weight are less costly compared with currently available electronic devices, it should be considered as an alternative method to assess adherence in both clinical research and practice.
