Question

What do the results of studies about medication adherence predict about survival over a 6-month period for heart failure patients? Both Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) and self-reports could accurately predict survival with the same accuracy. Neither MEMS (Medication Event Monitoring Systems) nor self-reports were accurate predictors of survival. MEMS (Medication Event Monitoring Systems) were able to predict survival better than patient self-reports. Patient self-reports were far more accurate than Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) at predicting survival based on adherence.
