Abstract

After 7 years and 70,000 patients of whom two-thirds women and one-third men, 77% aged 20–50 years, 90% residing in Paris or the suburban areas, we report our experience at the Lariboisière hospital Emergency headache Center. About two-thirds of our patients complained of primary headache, i.e., migraine, but the number of patients with secondary headache has progressively increased to account for about 17.3% of our current recruitment. Vascular headache, particularly after meningeal bleeding has been prevalent leading to an increased number of orders for laboratory and radiological investigations as well as hospitalizations.

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.
