Are there sex differences in nonadherence to secondary stroke prevention medications among patients with first-ever ischemic stroke?
Women with first-ever ischemic stroke have higher rates of medication nonadherence compared to men, highlighting a need for targeted interventions addressing lifestyle and access to care.
Poststroke medication nonadherence was more prevalent among women than men. This was partially due to the confounding effects of lifestyle, marital status, and access to care, suggesting potential subgroups for interventions to improve adherence.
