Prevalence of adherence to oral antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The treatment of type 2 diabetes requires multidimensional management, with medication adherence a crucial aspect of diabetes control. However, recent rigorous estimates of adherence to oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD) are lacking. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of adherence to OAD in type 2 diabetes patients.

Methods

A systematic search was performed in PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from July 2013 to April 2023. Cross-sectional studies published in English were included if they met the following criteria: (1) reported the adherence to OAD using a validated measure; and (2) had a sample size of at least 385 patients with type 2 diabetes. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal for studies reporting prevalence data was used
