Prevalence and Predictors of Medication Adherence among Adolescents and Adults with Asthma in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: The pooled prevalence of medication adherence among adolescents and adults with asthma in Ethiopia is low and indicated that three out of five adolescents and adults with asthma were non-adherent to medications. This implies the ministry of health should develop different strategies to improve medication adherence including patient education and strengthening the health care system. Multicenter longitudinal studies should be further conducted by using objective methods of adherence measurement and large sample size.PMID:38512046 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2024.2332920
