Excerpt

Does the world need a journal focusing on cachexia and sarcopenia, some asked in 2010 and 2011 when The Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle (for short: JCSM) had just been launched. Today, we are looking back at 4 years of activity with more than 140 published reviews, editorials, letters and most importantly, original research articles. Particularly in the beginning, it was sometimes not easy to fill the journal and many know that we still have a high acceptance rate, well above 50 %. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
