Overview

Randomized controlled trial improved statin adherence in diabetes patients using SMS, suggesting telehealth benefits.

Key Points

  • The intervention group showed a statistically significant increase in adherence rates compared to the control group.
  • Adherence was measured at 12 weeks using both MARS-5 and pill counting methods, highlighting the effectiveness of telehealth.
  • Improvements in lipid profiles and reductions in acute cardiovascular events were observed alongside enhanced adherence.
  • Telehealth interventions can potentially reduce overall mortality in patients with diabetes due to improved medication adherence.
