Agreement and Accuracy of Medication Persistence Identified by Patient Self-report vs Pharmacy Fill: A Secondary Analysis of the Cluster Randomized ARTEMIS Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Pharmacy fill data are increasingly accessible to clinicians and researchers to evaluate longitudinal medication persistence beyond patient self-report.

Objective

To assess the agreement and accuracy of patient-reported and pharmacy fill-based medication persistence.

Design, setting, and participants

This post hoc analysis of the cluster randomized clinical trial ARTEMIS (Affordability and Real-world Antiplatelet Treatment Effectiveness After Myocardial Infarction Study) enrolled patients at 287 US hospitals (131 randomized to intervention and 156 to usual care) from June 5, 2015, to September 30, 2016, with 1-year follow-up and blinded adjudication of major adverse cardiovascular events.
