Nataliya Zelikovsky, Aileen Schast, Joann Palmer, Kevin Meyers
Abstract: Non‐adherence to medical regimens is a ubiquitous hindrance to
quality health care among adolescent transplant recipients. Identification of
potentially modifiable barriers to adherence when patients are listed for organ
transplant would help with early intervention efforts to prepare adolescents for
the stringent medication regimen post‐transplant. Fifty‐six adolescents listed

major causes of late morbidity and mortality in pediatric liver transplant
recipients, little is known of the risk factors involved in this behavior. Three
cases of fatal non‐adherence are reported. Factors associated with non‐adherence
were investigated by performing a retrospective chart review of a panel of 27

Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) is a major concern after pediatric transplantation. The
group at greatest risk is EBV‐seronegative recipients who receive
EBV‐seropositive organs. Additional risk factors remain to be determined,
including those among EBV‐seropositive recipients. In this case‐control study,
PTLD cases were biopsy... hiện toàn bộ
Non‐adherence in pediatric transplantation: A review of the existing literature Tập 5 Số 4 - Trang 246-249 - 2001

family functioning, and the physiological side‐effects of immunosuppressant
medications. This article examines the current literature regarding each of
these factors and proposes recommendations for increasing the medical compliance
among childho... hiện toàn bộ
