Predictors of Low Clopidogrel Adherence Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Few data are available on factors associated with low adherence or early clopidogrel discontinuation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients (n = 284) were evaluated before hospital discharge after PCI to identify factors associated with low adherence to clopidogrel 30 days later. A...

Description
Summary:Few data are available on factors associated with low adherence or early clopidogrel discontinuation after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients (n = 284) were evaluated before hospital discharge after PCI to identify factors associated with low adherence to clopidogrel 30 days later. Adherence to daily medications before PCI was assessed using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) and categorized as low (score
