Association of Medication Adherence and Health Status in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Insights From the CHAMP-HF Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The foundation for managing heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is adherence to guideline-directed medical therapy. Finding an association between medication adherence and patients' health status (their symptoms, function, and quality of life) can be used to underscore its importance to patients.

Methods

The association of self-reported medication adherence in US outpatients with HFrEF enrolled in the Change the Management of Patients with Heart Failure registry from 2015 to 2017 was compared with their health status at baseline and 12 months later. A secondary analysis of changes in adherence between baseline and 6 months with 6-month health status was also performed. Medication adherence was assessed with the self-reported 4-item Morisky-Green-L
