Study of Adherence to Medication in Pediatric Liver Diseases (“SAMPLD” Study) in Indian Children

Overall, nonadherence was seen in 12-16%, i.e., around one-sixth of the patients, with least nonadherence seen in post LT recipients (0-2.4%). Older age of the patient, rural place of stay and personal barriers like hard to remember/forgetfulness and bad medication taste were identified as factors independently leading to nonadherence.
