Key result
Age and previous myocardial infarction independently influenced adherence, and high-level adherence was seen in 11.1% of patients with recurrent ACS versus 28.4% of those without (P=0.1).

Low adherence after recurrent ACS may warrant monitoring; leaves open whether age or prior MI modify intervention effects in prospective trials.
Cohort (n=221)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 11.1% vs 28.4%
p-value: p=0.1
In patients post-MI treated with PCI, adherence to medication is suboptimal in nearly three-quarters of patients, with age and previous MI independently influencing adherence levels.
Kosobucka et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in myocardial infarction (n=221). Recurrent acute coronary syndrome (re-ACS) vs. No recurrent acute coronary syndrome was evaluated on High-level adherence (ACDS score >26 points) (p=0.1). Age and previous myocardial infarction independently influenced adherence, and high-level adherence was seen in 11.1% of patients with recurrent ACS versus 28.4% of those without (P=0.1).
