Adherencia terapéutica y riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 que acuden al Centro de Salud Catacocha

Poor therapeutic adherence increases the risk of complications in patients with DM2. The present investigation allows us to know the relationship between therapeutic adherence and cardiovascular risk, in order to obtain data that provide health personnel with information for the evaluation of the effectiveness of management strategies for patients with DM2 and in turn encourage the commitment and coordination of all personnel involved. A correlational, descriptive, qualitative approach, prospective cross-sectional cohort study was carried out, made up of 95 patients with DM2 treated at the Catacocha Health Center and who met the inclusion criteria.
