ABSTRACT

La adherencia o cumplimiento terapéutico es la realización del tratamiento de la hepatitis C con dosis suficientes de Interferon pegilado y Ribavirina durante el tiempo previsto, es decir 80% de las dosis inicialmente indicada, en el 80% del tiempo establecido. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la adherencia al tratamiento en el grupo seleccionado, el cumplimiento de la terapia depende de varios factores que incluyen: paciente, efectos colaterales, personal médico y paramédico y todo aquello que impida reducir dosis o interrumpir la terapia. En este trabajo se revisaron 41 historias del archivo interno de la consulta de hígado del Hospital Miguel Pérez Carreño a quien se le indico tratamiento con Peg-Interferon y RBV por diagnostico de Hepatitis C, independientemente del genotipo. Se tomaron en cuenta los siguientes parámetros: sexo, edad, morbilidad asociada, efectos colaterales, motivo para suspender terapia, % de pacientes que culminaron tratamiento, etc. Se utilizo procesador Word y Excel, y análisis estadístico simple. El hallazgo primordial fue que aproximadamente solo el 29% culmino la terapia. La conclusión de esta revisión es entender la importancia de profundizar la relación médico-paciente y la conformación del equipo multidisciplinario como punto indispensable para lograr la adherencia al tratamiento y por ende una respuesta viral sostenida, objetivo primordial de la terapia.


Adherence or compliance to therapy is to apply the treatment for Hepatitis C, with the maximum dosage of Pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin along the foreseen period, i.e. 80% of the dosage initially prescribed during 80% of the established time. The completion of this objective depends on numerous factors: 1. Relating to Patients: a) patient’s education and understanding to realize the consequences of the disease and b) encouraging the patient to comply with the therapy. 2. Inherent to the treatment itself: a) appropriate management of adverse effects and b) drug tolerance of the patient. 3. Setting up a multidisciplinary team: medical doctor, nurse, psychologist, hematologist, etc. which positively influence the attitude of patient preventing dose reduction and drop-out of therapy. In this paper we reviewed 41 patient’s medical records from the internal archive of the Hepatic Department, Miguel Pérez Carreño Hospital. Those patients were treated with Peg-Interferon and RBV (Ribavirin) due to Hepatitis C diagnosis, independently on the genotype. The following parameters were taken into account: gender, age, associate morbidity, side effects, reasons for suspending therapy, % of patients who completed therapy, etc. Word processor and Excel were used and the simple statistical analysis. With the fundamental finding that, approximately, only the 29% of patients culminated the therapy. Reviewing this series allowed us to assess the importance of deepen the doctor-patient relationship, as well as setting up a multidisciplinary team, as an essential point in order to achieve the adherence to treatment and, therefore, a sustained viral response: the paramount objective of the therapy.
