A systematic review of adherence to anticoagulation regimens in pediatric patients
PEDIATRIC BLOOD & CANCER(2022)
摘要
Thromboembolic disease rates are increasing in pediatric patients. Anticoagulation is prescribed for treatment and prevention of thromboembolic disease. While nonadherence to anticoagulation regimens predicts poor health outcomes in adults, data in anticoagulated pediatric patients are limited. We systematically reviewed the rates, outcomes, and predictors of anticoagulation nonadherence in the pediatric population. Out of a total of 3581 unique articles identified for review, 17 studies met inclusion criteria. These studies primarily evaluated patients with cardiac disease treated with vitamin K antagonists. Overall nonadherence rates varied from 3% to 42%, based upon population, definition of adherence, and measurement strategy. Patient age, goal international normalized ratio (INR), and number of concurrent potentially interacting medications correlated with nonadherence. Data examining the relationship between nonadherence and health outcomes were included in only two studies. Limitations of current literature, as well as critical knowledge gaps that require future study, are discussed.
