Association Between Adherence to Pharmacotherapy and Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes: A Meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS
We identified no trials reporting on outcomes by adherence, suggesting a systematic failure to include this information. Pooled estimates from available observational studies suggest that good medication adherence is associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality and hospitalization in people with type 2 diabetes, although bias cannot be excluded as an explanation for these findings.
