Reduced Morbidity & Mortality Rates
Research has found a direct correlation between non-adherence and poor health outcomes, and an estimated 125,000 deaths per year occur as a direct result of non-adherence. [3] For instance, the risk of poor clinical outcomes (including hospitalization, re-hospitalization, and mortality) is 5.4 times higher for non-adherent patients with uncontrolled hypertension than it is for adherent patients.
