Interventions to improve adherence to statins for primary cardiovascular prevention demonstrated only a potential modest improvement with small effect sizes and limited certainty.
Do interventions improve statin adherence in patients prescribed statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases?
Interventions aimed at improving statin adherence for primary prevention show only modest, small-effect improvements based on low-certainty evidence.
The study found heterogenous evidence with limited certainty suggesting a potential modest improvement in statin adherence with interventions, where the effect sizes were small.
Rakhshanda et al. (2026) studied this question. Interventions to improve adherence to statins for primary cardiovascular prevention demonstrated only a potential modest improvement with small effect sizes and limited certainty.
