Level of medication non-adherence among ambulatory patients with dyslipidemia and comorbid illness in Northwest Ethiopia: a multicenter cross-sectional study
This study revealed a high prevalence of medication non-adherence among patients with T2DM with dyslipidemia in Northwest Ethiopia. Non-adherence was significantly associated with female gender, unmarried status, smoking, comorbid conditions, and polypharmacy. These findings emphasize the need for targeted strategies to improve adherence in high-risk populations to enhance lipid control and lower the likelihood of cardiovascular complications.
