Medication non-adherence in heart failure patients dramatically increased readmission and death risks, with key predictors including advanced age, smoking, khat chewing, and chronic kidney disease.
Does medication non-adherence increase the risk of readmission and death in heart failure patients?
Medication non-adherence in Yemeni heart failure patients is strongly linked to cultural and behavioral factors like khat chewing and smoking, and dramatically increases the risk of mortality and readmission.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
in this single-centre Yemeni cohort, clinician-documented non-adherence was prevalent and strongly predicted by specific demographic, behavioral, and clinical factors. The independent predictors of non-adherence in this setting include advanced age, male gender, smoking, khat chewing, and chronic kidney disease. Non-adherence was associated with a dramatically increased risk of readmission and death. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted interventions addressing modifiable risks like smoking and khat use to improve outcomes in this and similar settings.
