Blood pressure outcomes of medication adherence interventions: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: This systematic review applied meta-analytic procedures to integrate primary research that examined blood pressure outcomes of medication adherence interventions. Random-effects model analysis calculated standardized mean difference effect sizes. Exploratory dichotomous and continuous moderator analyses using meta-analytic analogues of ANOVA and regression were performed. Codable data were extracted from 156 reports with 60,876 participants. The overall weighted mean difference systolic effect size was 0.235 across 161 treatment versus control comparisons. The diastolic effect size was 0.189 from 181 comparisons. Effect sizes were significantly heterogeneous. Common risks of bias included lack of allocation concealment, unmasked data collectors, and absent intention-to-treat analyses. Exploratory moderator analyses suggested that habit-based interventions may be most effective. The largest effect sizes were for interventions delivered by pharmacists. The modest magnitude effect sizes suggest future research should explore novel higher dose interventions that might address multiple levels of influence on adherence behavior.

Project description:BackgroundOrgan transplantation is the most effective treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. It has been actively carried out all over the world. Recently, eHealth interventions have been applied to organ transplant patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of eHealth interventions for improving medication adherence in organ transplant patients as compared to usual or conventional care alone.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE via PubMed, Excerpta Media dataBASE (EMBASE), the Cochrane Register Controlled Trials, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, and six domestic Korean databases to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to April 17, 2020. Two reviewers independently selected relevant studies and extracted data. The quality and bias of the identified studies were assessed. To estimate the effect size, a meta-analysis of the studies was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration software Review Manager 5.3. PRISMA guidelines were followed. When statistical heterogeneity was greater than 80%, narrative synthesis was performed.ResultsOf the 1,847 articles identified, seven RCTs with a total of 759 participants met the inclusion criteria. The risk of bias assessment showed that the blinding of participants and personnel was high. In six studies, medication adherence (effect size = -0.18-1.30) and knowledge scores were not significantly different between those receiving eHealth interventions and the controls.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that eHealth interventions were similar to standard care or advanced care for improving medication adherence, and they faired equally well for improving medication knowledge. Therefore, eHealth interventions can be used for medication adherence of organ transplant patients. More research is needed to provide well-designed eHealth intervention to improve the medication adherence and knowledge of organ transplant patients.Protocol registration numberCRD42017067145 16/05/2017.

Project description:BackgroundSub-optimal medication adherence in pregnant women with chronic disease and pregnancy-related indications has the potential to adversely affect maternal and perinatal outcomes. Adherence to appropriate medications is advocated during and when planning pregnancy to reduce risk of adverse perinatal outcomes relating to chronic disease and pregnancy-related indications. We aimed to systematically identify effective interventions to promote medication adherence in women who are pregnant or planning to conceive and impact on perinatal, maternal disease-related and adherence outcomes.MethodsSix bibliographic databases and two trial registries were searched from inception to 28th April 2022. We included quantitative studies evaluating medication adherence interventions in pregnant women and women planning pregnancy. Two reviewers selected studies and extracted data on study characteristics, outcomes, effectiveness, intervention description (TIDieR) and risk of bias (EPOC). Narrative synthesis was performed due to study population, intervention and outcome heterogeneity.ResultsOf 5614 citations, 13 were included. Five were RCTs, and eight non-randomised comparative studies. Participants had asthma (n = 2), HIV (n = 6), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n = 2), diabetes (n = 2) and risk of pre-eclampsia (n = 1). Interventions included education +/- counselling, financial incentives, text messaging, action plans, structured discussion and psychosocial support. One RCT found an effect of the tested intervention on self-reported antiretroviral adherence but not objective adherence. Clinical outcomes were not evaluated. Seven non-randomised comparative studies found an association between the tested intervention and at least one outcome of interest: four found an association between receiving the intervention and both improved clinical or perinatal outcomes and adherence in women with IBD, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and asthma. One study in women with IBD reported an association between receiving the intervention and maternal outcomes but not for self-reported adherence. Two studies measured only adherence outcomes and reported an association between receiving the intervention and self-reported and/or objective adherence in women with HIV and risk of pre-eclampsia. All studies had high or unclear risk of bias. Intervention reporting was adequate for replication in two studies according to the TIDieR checklist.ConclusionsThere is a need for high-quality RCTs reporting replicable interventions to evaluate medication adherence interventions in pregnant women and those planning pregnancy. These should assess both clinical and adherence outcomes.
