Adherence to antihypertensive medications in Omani patients: a comparison of drug biochemical analysis and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale
Almost one-fourth of our patients with hypertension were nonadherent to their medications. There was a weak concordance between the MMAS and LC-MS/MS methods in detecting medication nonadherence. Further research into noninvasive convenient adherence scales or methods and their correlations with LC-MS/MS analysis is warranted.
