Degree of compliance with doctors recommendations and its effect on compensation of the disease among children and adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Purpose. To determine the effect of the degree of compliance of patients on the level of compensation for the disease in children and adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Material and methods. A survey was conducted, a retrospective study of the medical histories of 80 patients with CAH aged 1 to 17 years inclusive, who were observed at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital. Results. Based on the analysis of surveys and laboratory statuses, a high degree of compliance was found in 70% of the surveyed patients. It was found that there is a strong relationship between the degree of consent and the 17-ONR indicator. All this confirms the high level of responsibility of patients for their health, but also indicates that there is still a need to better inform patients about their disease, as well as the importance of following the doctor's prescriptions and being in a trusting relationship.
