A survey and analysis of inhalation medication adherence among 977 COPD patients in a region of northern China

Among the surveyed patients, those who were under 70 years old (OR = 5.1, CI = 1.13-23.11) and had family supervision (OR = 3.26, CI = 1.3-8.21) demonstrated better medication adherence. This suggests that physicians could potentially improve patient medication adherence, optimize disease control, and enhance the overall quality of life for these patients by considering targeted interventions, such as identifying and educating elderly patients, intensifying tailored promotional activities, and encouraging family members to supervise medication use.
