Beta-blocker prescription adherence of children and young people with long QT syndrome: a retrospective cohort study
Adherence in the paediatric cohort was mostly in the "adequate range." Increased deprivation is a risk factor for "less than" ideal adherence. A small minority of patients can be identified as completely non-adherent by checking prescription records. Future studies should focus on elucidating barriers and enablers to ideal adherence in this population.
