The Nuances of Cost-Related Medication Non-Adherence in Patients Receiving Immunosuppression Compared to Patients with Chronic Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background

Medication adherence rates across diseases that require immunosuppression, including autoimmune diseases, are low. While cost barriers affect medication adherence, it is unknown whether adherence rates related to cost barriers differ between medically immunosuppressed patients and similar patients with other chronic diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of immunosuppression on cost-related medication non-adherence (CRMNA).
