Assessment of adherence to at-home oral anti-infective therapy among paediatric patients discharged from a Quebec hospital

Study (58 patients <16yrs discharged on oral anti-infectives) found only 51.7% were adherent to therapy. Non-adherence was mostly due to not following the administration schedule. Adherence rate for those taking 1-2 doses per day was double that of those taking >2 doses per day.
