Factors Associated With High Adherence to Eye Drop Therapy for Dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to identify factors associated with high adherence to eye drop therapy for dogs.

Animals studied

The study included 113 dogs and their owners who visited a veterinary ophthalmology clinic.

Procedures

Participants were classified into high and low adherence groups based on whether they gave the eye drops the prescribed number of times or less, respectively, until their second visit. Information about 15 candidate factors was obtained from the owners and medical records. Simple logistic regression was used for initial screening, followed by multiple logistic regression.

Results

Of the valid participants, 71 were in the high adherence group, and 31 were in the low adherence group. This classification was used as the outcome variable. Par
