Non-adherence to Immunosuppressives in Kidney Transplantation in Brazil Multicenter Study

Summary

The purpose of the study are: 1. To estimate the prevalence of non-adherence to immunosuppressants, and to other treatment-related aspects (smoking cessation, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and appointment keeping), in KT recipients among different KT centres across different regions of Brazil; 2. To explore multilevel factors associated to immunosuppressive adherence at the level of patient (socio-demographic, clinical), healthcare provider (patient satisfaction with the interpersonal dimension of care, trust in the transplant team, social support), healthcare organization (composition of the team, operational access, CIM transplant program practice patterns), and healthcare system and policies (perceived financial burden of the treatment regimen, insurance status, barriers to access to the immunosuppressive drugs, Brazilian region);
