Objectives : This study aims to estimate the oral antihyperglycemic medications adherence among ambulatory care with adult type 2 diabetes patients and to identify factors affecting the medication adherence in Korea. Methods : This study used the Korean National Health Insurance Database. Study population was 40,082 patients who were 20 years of age or older and first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (ICD-10: E11) in 2004. The patients were followed up for two years in order to measure adherence with oral antihyperglycemic medications. The level of medication adherence was measured by the medication possession ratio (MPR). Results : The average MPR in the study population was 49.5%. The appropriate adherence rate (MPR$\geq$80%) was 29.4% and showed variation according to the characteristics of individual patients. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the odds of appropriate adherence increased with female (OR:1.21, CI:1.14-1.27), older age, increasing ambulatory care visits, health insurance (OR:1.53, CI:1.33-1.76), decreasing ambulatory care providers, using a specialized general hospital as their main attending medical institution (OR:10.08, CI:8.96-11.33), having co-morbidity, using polytherapy (OR:1.07, CI:1.01-1.13). Conclusions : The medications adherence for patient with type 2 diabetes is low in Korea, and shows variation according to the characteristics of patients. For proper management of diabetes, health care policy is expected to be enacted to improve medications adherence continuously. In particular, more intensive management is needed for patients with low medications adherence. Also, health care policy makers need to develop the program to induce health care utilization by a patient to be more concentrated with the same provider.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 의료기관에서 외래진료 시 경구용 혈당강하제를 투약 받는 사람들의 특성과 복약순응도와의 연관성을 확인하기 위함이다. 연구방법은 2016년 한 해 동안 건강보험심사평가원 청구데이터에 주상병이나 부상병에 E11을 포함하는 제2형 당뇨병 환자표본자료를 이용한 단면연구로 당뇨약제 109개 주성분코드로 분석하였다. 연구결과 복약순응도는 성별에서 유의한 차이가 있었고, 남성이 여성에 비해 높았다. 복약순응도는 보험유형 간에 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 건강보험, 의료급여에 비해 보훈(무료)이 가장 높았다. 보훈(무료)이 타 보험유형에 비해 복약순응도가 높은 것은 자기부담이 적어 의료접근성이 높은 이유로 해석된다. 본 연구의 결과가 건강보험 외래 본인부담에 대한 정책적 기초자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다. 또한, 제2형 당뇨병 환자와 같은 만성질환자의 외래 본인부담률을 줄일 수 있는 적정방안을 추가연구로 제안한다.
