Excerpt

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic joint disease causing pain and functional disability especially among older adults [1]. Mechanical risk factors such as increased body mass index, previous knee injury, and intensive physical activity are important for onset and progression of knee OA [1]. Biomechanical alterations of femorotibial joint such as varus–valgus alignment have also been shown to be associated with development of knee OA [2, 3]. Alterations in the congruence of the patellofemoral joint, the other compartment of the knee joint, may also lead to abnormal stress on the articular surface of this compartment and predispose subjects to developing patellofemoral OA. …

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.
