Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the status of adherence to antiplatelet therapy in patients after 6 months of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) by the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale – MMAS.[1]


Methods & Results: From June 2022 to February 2023, we prospectively enrolled 250 patients after percutaneous coronary intervention, aged 67.7 ± 10 years (73.2% male) had measured by MMAS. The Score of adherence to antiplatelet therapy in patients was 5,9 ± 1,2 points. The patients with non Adherence and moderate adherence accounted for the majority of 50,4% and 38,8%. Patients with a high degree of adhrence to drug therapy accounted for a low rate of 10,8%. Characteristics of education level and understanding of coronary artery disease that affect adherence to antiplatelet therapy in patients after 6 months intervention with p<0.001. Gender characteristics, demographics, comorbidities and chest pain status did not affect the patient's adherence to treatment.


Conclusion: Patients who did not adhere to heantiplatelet therapy after 6 months of intervention accounted for 50.4%. Factors affecting the patient's adherence to antiplatelet therapy after 6 months of percutaneous coronary intervention include education level, understanding of the disease, and drug side effects.
