Pediatric-to-adult Transition and Medication Adherence in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Conclusions: TR patients did not have worse adherence than YAs diagnosed in adulthood. Protective factors may include previous treatment in pediatric centers and the salient symptomatology of inflammatory bowel disease, whereas increasing concerns over medications contribute to nonadherence in YAs. Pharmacist-led counselling improves adherence in these patients.
