Summary: | Background
Identification of differences in medication adherence by sex or organ type may help in planning interventions to optimize outcomes. We compared immunosuppressive medication adherence between males and females, and between kidney, liver and heart transplant recipients.

This multicenter study of prevalent kidney, liver and heart transplant recipients 14–25 years assessed adherence 3 times (0, 3, 6 months post‐enrollment) with the BAASIS self‐report tool. At each visit, participants were classified as adherent if they missed no doses in the prior 4 weeks and non‐adherent otherwise. Adherence was also assessed using the coefficient of variation (CV) of tacrolimus trough levels; CV |
