Abstract：
BACKGROUND:To determine the nonfulfillment of antiinfectious therapy in clinical practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS:Fulfillment was quantified by tablet counting (TC) in the homes of 366 patients undergoing antibiotic treatment and the motives and predictive factors were identified. RESULTS:Nonfulfillment was of 61% (95% confidence interval [CI] 55.4-66.6%). Patient improvement was the main reason for discontinuation (54.5%). The predictive factors were greater length of treatment (p = 0.000004), dose (p = 0.0019) and number of tablets (p = 0.0000). CONCLUSIONS:Nonfulfillment of antiinfectious treatment in clinical practice is high, mainly due to clinical improvement and to the greater complexity and length of treatment.
