Adherence to Post-Stroke Pharmacotherapy: Scale Validation and Correlates among a Sample of Stroke Survivors

Conclusions: The LMAS-14 is a valid and reliable tool to assess medication adherence in stroke practice and research. Severe difficulty in obtaining medications due to unpredictable availability and shortage of supplies is associated with lower medication adherence, and thus places stroke survivors at higher risk of complications and morality. Additional measures and urgent action by stroke care providers and public health stakeholders are necessary to ensure adequate post-stroke management and outcomes.PMID:36013576 | PMC:PMC9413934 | DOI:10.3390/medicina58081109
