Key result
A 1-unit increase in life chaos was associated with a 7% increase in the odds of reporting cardiovascular medication nonadherence (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02-1.12).
Why the study?
Is perceived life chaos associated with increased CVD-medication nonadherence in post-MI patients?
Population
406 patients with hypertension and a myocardial infarction in the past 3 years
Comparison
Higher perceived life chaos vs Lower perceived life chaos
Design
Cross-sectional

Life chaos screening should not yet guide post-MI adherence strategies; leaves open causal effects and intervention targets.
RCT (n=406)
Is perceived life chaos associated with increased CVD-medication nonadherence in post-MI patients?
Odds Ratio: 1.07 (95% CI 1.02–1.12)
Higher perceived life chaos is significantly associated with increased odds of cardiovascular medication nonadherence in post-MI patients.
Zullig et al. (2013) conducted an RCT in Postmyocardial infarction and hypertension (n=406). Life chaos (1-unit increase) was evaluated on CVD-medication nonadherence (OR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.12). A 1-unit increase in life chaos was associated with a 7% increase in the odds of reporting cardiovascular medication nonadherence (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.02-1.12).
