Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change of Morisky Medication Adherence Scale -8 (MMAS-8) Score at the End of the Educational Period After 6 Months From Baseline

    Time frame: Baseline and 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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Change of Morisky Medication Adherence Scale -8 (MMAS-8) Score at the End of the Observational Period After 12 Months From End of Educational Period After 6 Months.

    Time frame: 6 months and 12 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 4 minus the score at visit 3. Therefore, a positive change score reflects an improvement in the adherence.

  2. Mean Change of Morisky Medication Adherence Scale -8 (MMAS-8) Score at the End of the Observational Period After 12 Months From Baseline

    Time frame: 12 months and baseline

    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 4 minus the score at visit 1 (baseline). Therefore, a positive change score reflects an improvement in the adherence.
