Comparative effectiveness of interventions for improving adherence to ocular hypotensive therapy in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension: protocol for network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Poor medication adherence is an important issue in healthcare. Various types of interventions for improved adherence to ocular hypotensive therapy have been proposed, though evidence on the effectiveness of any isolated intervention remains limited. The current protocol is an ongoing network meta-analysis (NMA) design that enables comparative investigation of any and all interventions for which there are available randomised controlled trials (RCTs).

Methods and analysis

Studies of interest will assess the effects of any interventions on medication adherence in adults (age ≥18 years) with either gla
