Abstract
New treatment options of chronic diseases, concerning the different selection of therapy regimens, as well as the system of drug administration (outpatiently, domiciliary, at hospital) started up over the last decade. The patient's awareness of the availability of treatment alternatives is an important benefit factor in terms of adherence of patients to treatment and preserving quality of life. The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing the choice of medication administration route, used in case of various nosologies. In view of this we analyzed all publications in the PubMed database in the period of 1990 to 2016, concerning the comparison of efficacy, safety, pharmacoeconomic, patient preferences, in case of different medication administration route. As a result of the database analysis we incontestably proved that the basic criteria of medication selection were efficiency, safety, pharmacoeconomic aspects and patient preference. Patient preference is an important factor in achieving high adherence to treatment, increasing the efficiency of medical technology and enhancing quality of life.
