Medication adherence trajectory and its impact on recurrent stroke after carotid artery stenting.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Medication adherence is critical for patient outcomes, but remains insufficiently investigated in individuals following Carotid Artery Stenting (CAS). This study aims to investigate the trajectories and determinants of medication adherence and their impact on stroke recurrence in post-CAS patients. Methods: This study included patients who underwent CAS in the neurology department of a tertiary Grade A hospital in Fujian Province from January 2021 to May 2024. Medication adherence was assessed using the Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) at 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge, Stroke recurrence was evaluated at each follow-up visit. Group-Based Trajectory Modeling (GBTM) was utilized to analyze adherence trajectories, and logistic regression identified associated factors. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the impact of adherence trajectories on stroke recurrence. Three Cox models were constructed: Model 1 (unadjusted), Model 2 (adjusted for age and sex), and Model 3 (further adjusted for significant variables from univariate analysis). Results: Medication adherence scores at 3, 6, and 12 months were 6.33 ± 1.43, 5.06 ± 1.31, and 4.81 ± 1.47, respectively. Three distinct adherence trajectories were identified: high level decline (37.32%), medium level decline (31.58%), and persistently low level decline (31.10%). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that household income, family medication supervision, regular follow-up visits, and medication related-beliefs significantly influenced these trajectories ( Conclusion: Post-CAS patients demonstrate three distinct medication adherence trajectories, with socioeconomic, behavioral, and belief-related factors influencing long-term adherence. The high level decline group serves as a crucial protective factor in preventing stroke recurrence. Underscoring the need for targeted interventions to maintain adherence and prevent recurrent stroke.
