Adherence to immunosuppression in adult lung transplant recipients: Prevalence and risk factors

Adherence to immunosuppressive therapy was very high in lung transplant recipients. Only 7.7% of the recipients were non-adherent. Younger recipients and recipients with lower ability of self-care appeared to be at risk for NA. Follow-up of clinical data is needed to determine whether NA is associated with poorer outcome, specifically bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome.
