Resum

Aim: To measure the gout medication adherence in patients with hyperuricemia or gout and to determine the factors associated with adherence to anti-gout treatment. Method: Cross-sectional observational study conducted in Pharmacy Gomez Parera, Armilla (Granada). We included patients older than 18 with medical prescription to treat hyperuricemia or gout. Uric acid was measured (Refloton ®) and adherence to treatment by the questionnaire BMQ (The Brief Medication Questionnaire). Performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis to study the relationship between serum uric acid and the various associated factors. Results: We included 19 patients, where 89.5% were men. The mean age was 65.5 (SD: 12.94) years. The average value was 6.03 uricemia (SD 2.06). BMQ as a result it was found that only 10.5% were adherent and anti-gout treatment for each point increase in the count of BMQ increases averaged 2.65 mg / dl blood AU. The variables included explained 64.1% of the variability in the model uricemia. Conclusions: Patients who take medicine for gout or hyperuricemia, have low adherence to therapy and blood AU values are related to the degree of adherence to treatment of these patients.
