Abstrakt: Introduction: We aimed to summarize evidence on the effect of poor medication adherence on clinical outcomes and health resource utilization (HRU) among patients with hypertension and/or dyslipidemia.
Areas Covered: A systematic review of studies reporting clinical outcomes and HRU for patients by status of adherence to antihypertensives and/or lipid-lowering medications was searched using Embase, MEDLINE, and MEDLINE In-Process and supplemented by manual searches of conference abstracts. In total, 45 studies were included, with most being retrospective observational studies ( n  = 36). Patients with poor adherence to antihypertensives and lipid-lowering medications compared with those with good adherence showed less reduction of blood pressure (BP) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) after 6-12 months follow-up (∆ systolic BP: 1.2 vs. -4.5 mmHg; ∆LDL-c: -14.0 to -18.9 vs. -34.1 to -42.0 mg/dL). Poor adherence was also significantly associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events (HR: 1.1-1.9) and mortality (HR: 1.4-1.8) in patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia and increased HRU (i.e. outpatient visits, risk of cardiovascular-related and all-cause hospitalization, annual inpatient days, total health-care costs).
Expert Opinion: Poor adherence is associated with poor clinical outcomes and increased HRU, highlighting the need to enhance medication adherence in patients with hypertension and/or dyslipidemia.
