Trial Outcomes & Findings for ADESPI: Adherence to Spiriva® in Patients With COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Measured by Morisky-8 (MMAS-8) Scale, in Routine Medical Practice (NCT NCT01388166)

NCT ID: NCT01388166

Last Updated: 2014-12-04

Results Overview

The MMAS-8 scale is a recognized indicator of medication adherence, consisting of 8 questions with a sum score ranging between 0 and 8 points. The higher score indicates higher adherence to the prescribed therapy recommendation. It has been agreed that the score of 8 could be categorized as having high adherence, score between 6 and 7 as medium adherence and scores of 5 and less as low adherence. The change is presented as the score on visit 3 minus the score at baseline. Therefore, a positive change score reflects an improvement in the adherence.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: This patient set includes all patients in the TS who have valid MMAS-8 questionnaire results both at baseline and after 6 months.

The MMAS-8 scale is a recognized indicator of medication adherence, consisting of 8 questions with a sum score ranging between 0 and 8 points. The higher score indicates higher adherence to the prescribed therapy recommendation. It has been agreed that the score of 8 could be categorized as having high adherence, score between 6 and 7 as medium adherence and scores of 5 and less as low adherence. The change is presented as the score on visit 3 minus the score at baseline. Therefore, a positive change score reflects an improvement in the adherence.
