Excerpt

An 8-month old boy presented to the pediatric surgery service with a 3-day history of irritability and vomiting followed by passage of currant jelly stool over the last 24 h. The patient was referred to radiology for an ultrasound study, which revealed the diagnosis of ileo-colic intussusception. An air enema for reduction under fluoroscopic guidance was recommended. A total of five attempts at intussusception reduction was made, with the total time of 40 min spent in the fluoroscopic suite and a radiation exposure time of 9 min, using pulsed fluoroscopy. The intussusception could not be reduced, and surgical reduction was recommended. …

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.
