Aim: The study is designed to compare the discharge prescriptions of ST-elevated (STEMI) and non ST-elevated (NSTEMI) myocardial infarction patients and the medications used end of first year and also to investigate the relationship between MI type, gender, age groups and drug adherence.Material and Methods: In retrospect, data from 413 patients were collected via epicrisis and phone visits. Discharge and the outpatient medications end of one year were compared.Results: Of the 413 patients included in the study, 312 (%75) were male. MI type distribution was NSTEMI with a ratio of 38.5% (n = 159) and STEMI with a ratio of 61.5% (n = 254). Only 2 (0.5%) patients did not receive acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) at discharge. The rate of beta-blocker, statin, clopidogrel users were %94.4, %97.1 and %97.8, respectively. The rate of patients who used five drugs (ASA, beta blocker, ACEI/ARB, statin, clopidogrel) at discharge was 78.7% (n = 325). At the end of first year, the rate of ASA, statin, beta blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/aldosterone receptor blocker(ACEI/ARB) and clopidogrel users dropped down to 88.1% (n = 364), 66% (n = 273), 80.9% (n = 334), 69.7% (n = 288) and 81.3% (n = 336), respectively(p |
