摘要

Background: Poor adherence to disease-modifying drugs is associated with an increased risk of relapse in patients with multiple sclerosis. However, adherence is difficult to assess objectively. RebiSmart? (Merck Serono SA, Geneva, Switzerland), a device for subcutaneous (sc) injection of interferon (IFN) β-1a, features an electronic injection log that can assist in objective monitoring of adherence.Objective: To assess adherence to sc IFN β-1a injections using data from RebiSmart?.Methods: This was a single-group, observational, retrospective audit. Adherence data were collected from patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis in the United Kingdom and Ireland who had been prescribed sc IFN β-1a and had been using RebiSmart? for a minimum of 24 months.Results: In total, 225 patients were included in the full analysis set; 72% were in the United Kingdom, and 28% were in Ireland. Overall, the mean age was 44.1 years, and 73% were women. Patients received sc IFN β-1a 44 μg (68%) or 22 μg (32%) three times per week. Mean adherence over the course of 24 months was 95.0% (median, 99.4%), and similar values were observed across all periods. The proportion of patients with 80% or higher adherence was 92.0% at 12 months and 91.1% at 24 months.Conclusion: High adherence to sc IFN β-1a was observed across all patient groups using RebiSmart?, according to 2-year treatment adherence data. This may be partly attributed to the expert support patients received, supplemented by routine and regular contact from the MySupport patient-support program, as well as the self-motivation of patients who persisted with treatment for 2 or more years.

(Merck Serono SA,日内瓦,瑞士),用于皮下(sc)注射干扰素(IFN)β-1a的装置,具有电子注射记录,可以帮助客观监测依从性。目的:评估对sc IFNβ的依从性。使用RebiSmart?的数据进行-1a注射。方法:这是单组,观察性,回顾性审核。依从性数据来自英国和爱尔兰的复发性多发性硬化症患者,这些患者已开具sc IFNβ-1a处方并一直使用RebiSmart?结果:至少有24个月。结果:完整的分析集中总共包括225名患者;英国有72%,爱尔兰有28%。总体而言,平均年龄为44.1岁,其中73%为女性。患者每周三次接受44μg(68%)或22μg(32%)sc IFNβ-1a。在24个月的过程中,平均依从性为95.0%(中位数为99.4%),并且在所有期间均观察到相似的值。坚持治疗80%或更高的患者比例在12个月时为92.0%,在24个月时为91.1%。结论:根据2年治疗依从性,在所有使用RebiSmart?的患者组中均观察到对sc IFNβ-1a的高度依从数据。这可能部分归因于获得了专家支持的患者,再加上MySupport患者支持计划的常规和定期联系,以及坚持治疗2年以上的患者的自我激励。
