About this study

The IFX adherence to CD in China was not high. Medicine concerns may be predictive factor of adherence. By enhancing knowledge and relieving medicine concerns, we may increase patients' adherence to IFX.

Read the detailed description

Crohn's disease (CD) is an incurable chronic disease that requires long-term treatment. As an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agent, Infliximab (IFX) is widely used in the treatment of Crohn's disease, while the adherence is not high. The purpose of this study was to investigate the adherence to IFX among CD patients in China and evaluate the association between medication belief and IFX adherence.
