Resumo

Those factors that are associated with medication nonadherence are complex and multifaceted. Previous work has been derived from tertiary referral centers and has focused on ulcerative colitis. Ediger et al. have studied a population-based cohort of IBD patients, with information on disease activity, medications, as well as psychological factors that are associated with medication-taking behavior. They have demonstrated some new gender-based differences for adherence, and it is clear that disease activity and diagnosis are also important factors.
