Summary:Chronic heart failure affects approximately 26 million people globally. World Health Organization data show that only approximately half of chronically ill patients in developed countries adhere to recommended medication, with even lower rates in developing countries. Medication adherence is critical for managing chronic heart failure symptoms, delaying disease progression, and preventing hospitalizations. However, poor adherence increases rehospitalization, morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. To assess medication adherence and associated factors among chronic heart failure patients on follow-up at North Shewa Public Hospitals, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, in 2023. This institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 1 to April 30, 2023, G.C. A total of 603 individuals were selected consecutively among those who underwent chronic OPD after being proportionally allocated to five hospitals in the zone.

The multivariable logistic regression model included variables with a P value
