Logistic regression analysis of good to very good adherence to once-daily teriparatide
| Good to very good adherence (> 75%) | Crude OR (95% CI) [p value] | Adjusted OR (95% CI) | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patient-support program enrollment = yes | 428/790 (54.2%) | 1.27 (1.01–1.60) [0.046] | 1.44 (1.04–2.00) | 0.030 |
| Patient-support program enrollment = no | 221/458 (48.3%) | |||
| Age (years) | – | – | 0.99 (0.97–1.01) | 0.345 |
| Sex (male vs. female) | – | – | 1.24 (0.68–2.25) | 0.484 |
| Smoking status (yes vs. no) | – | – | 0.31 (0.14–0.68) | 0.003 |
| Previous therapy related to osteoporosis (yes vs. no) | – | – | 1.36 (0.98–1.88) | 0.064 |
The final model was adjusted for age (years), sex (male/female), smoking status (yes/no), and previous therapy related to osteoporosis (yes/no). Age and sex were included due to clinical importance and the other variables were identified using a stepwise backward elimination method
