Key Points

The aim is to assess colchicine adherence in children with familial Mediterranean fever and identify influencing factors.
Evaluated adherence rates using objective tools like MASIF
Compared objective results with self-reported adherence
Analyzed patient factors to determine their impact on adherence
Colchicine non-adherence is common among children with FMF
Objective measures showed higher non-adherence rates compared to self-reports
Little correlation exists between patient factors and adherence rates

Implication

Assessment finds high colchicine non-adherence in paediatric FMF, indicating the need for improved evaluation tools.

Abstract

Colchicine non-adherence is frequent in paediatric FMF and largely unrelated to patient factors. Objective tools such as MASIF reveal higher non-adherence rates than self-reports and are essential for accurate evaluation in clinical decision making.
