The development of a clinical nomogram to predict medication nonadherence in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common bone disease in older patients. Medication adherence is of great significance in the prognosis of this disease. Therefore, this study analyzed the high-risk factors that lead to medication nonadherence in patients with KOA and constructed a nomogram risk prediction model. The basic information and clinical characteristics of inpatients diagnosed with KOA at the Department of Orthopedics, The Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University, were collected from January 2020 to January 2022. The Chinese version of the eight-item Morisky scale was used to evaluate medication adherence.
