Factors Associated With Adherence to Follow-up Recommendations in Neuro-Ophthalmology

Poor compliance with medical recommendations contributes to worsened medical outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Research suggests that improving adherence to therapy may have greater impact on health outcomes than any single improvement in treatment regimens. Understanding factors associated with and contributing to poor medical adherence is important for identifying patients who need extra support and designing interventions to improve compliance. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to identify factors associated with poor adherence to neuro-ophthalmology physician recommendations.
