Figure 3.

Illustrates the two distributions of mean proportional adherence per patient during the first three months for patients taking one versus multiple daily medication doses. Patients taking MMF two or more times a day (n=150) are represented by black symbols, while the 45 patients taking medication once daily (Aza, n=17 or Rapa, n=28) have gray symbols. In each subgroup, drop2 patients are represented by triangles and steadily adhering patients by circular symbols. Vertical lines divide subjects into tertiles. Note that drop2 patients are not limited to the lowest tertile. Note the highly similar distribution curves indicating that the proportional definition of adherence identifies a similar adherence distribution in either single or multiple dose patients.
