Overview

MMAS may support adherence assessment in warfarin patients; leaves open need for prospective validation before routine use.

Structured PICO

Does the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) demonstrate valid and reliable psychometric properties in patients taking warfarin?

P
Population
151 patients taking warfarin at an anticoagulation clinic in Singapore
I
Intervention
8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) questionnaire
O
Outcome
Psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the 8-item MMASpatient reported

The 8-item MMAS demonstrates good validity and moderate reliability for assessing medication adherence in patients taking warfarin.

Limitations

  • Future research is needed to investigate the scale's psychometric properties in other patient populations and clinical settings
