Abstract

Introduction: Medication adherence is the cornerstone of the successful drug management of a chronic disease. The objective of this study was to develop a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence and the factors associated with non-adherence in patients with type 2 diabetes in North African countries.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on Medline via Pubmed with a complementary search on Google Scholar. The meta-analysis was conducted using the Metaprop function of R software. The Cochrane Q test and Higgins I² statistic were used to estimate the heterogeneity.
Results: In total, 16 studies measuring the prevalence of medication adherence in North African countries were selected in this systematic review. The combined prevalence of non-adherence was 38% (95% CI 30%-47%) with a random-effects model. The meta-analysis revealed a significant heterogeneity between studies (I² = 96%, p <0.01). Factors associated with non-adherence in type 2 diabetics were education level, social security coverage, therapeutic education, cost of medication, socioeconomic level, the duration of diabetes, unbalanced diabetic diet, polypharmacy, female gender, family support and age.
Conclusion: The combined prevalence of non-adherence among type 2 diabetics in North Africa was high and multifactorial, requiring global and integrated management by patients, physicians and pharmacists.
