Abstract
Background: Adherence and persistence to treatment with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) is a predictor of the efficacy of treatment. Aims: The objectives of the study were the analysis of adherence, persistence, switches, and costs of the drugs used in MS. Methods: This is a retrospective non-interventional pharmacological observational study of 610 patients diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) under therapy between January 2007 and September 2022. Results: Adherence values were greater than 0.75 for all the drugs in considered for the study. The mean persistence value was 2.5 years on the analysis performed on the first-line treatment. Conclusion: In a therapy in which adherence is predominant, but not exclusive to therapy efficacy, persistence to the drug is synonymous with drug efficacy.
