Abstract
Non-adherence to treatment regimens in asthma is well described, however less is known about temporal patterns of medication use. We monitored 20 weeks of controller medication use and analyzed these patterns in patients ≥4 years of age with self-reported asthma enrolled in a digital health program. At baseline, approximately 20%, 28%, 25% and 27% of patients had optimal, moderate, sub-optimal and poor adherence, respectively. Medication adherence decreased in all groups in this study. The largest absolute decreases in adherence (-32%) were observed for moderately adherent patients. Certain adherence patterns which demonstrated greater declines, that, once identified, could be intervened upon.
