Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the effect of patient compliance with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) on tooth loss in Korean adults. Methods: The periodontal records of 134 patients were reviewed for this study. They completed active periodontal treatment from 1999 to 2001 and were placed on a schedule of periodic follow-up visits for SPT. Patient compliance was classified into complete compliance (CC), erratic compliance (EC), and noncompliance (NC) groups. Re-examinations were carried out $11.0{{\pm}}0.8$ years after the active periodontal treatment. The prognosis for each tooth was determined as good, questionable, or hopeless according to the bone loss observed in pretreatment radiographs. Results: The rate of tooth loss of the CC group was significantly lower than that of the NC group. The tooth loss/patient and the tooth loss/patient/year were not significantly different between the three groups. The rates of tooth loss in the good, questionable, and hopeless prognosis groups were 6.7%, 9.5%, and 13.2%, respectively. For the teeth with a good prognosis, the rate of tooth loss of the CC group was significantly lower than that of the NC group (0.4% vs. 5.1%). For the teeth with a questionable prognosis, the CC group showed a significantly lower rate of tooth loss than did the EC group (4.1% vs. 30.7%) or the NC group (4.1% vs. 25.6%). For the teeth with a hopeless prognosis, the rates of tooth loss were not significantly different among the three groups. Conclusions: Within the limits of this study, the patients who showed a poor compliance with SPT were more likely to lose teeth than were the regularly compliant patients. However, the risk of tooth loss with a hopeless prognosis was high irrespective of the compliance.

Supportive periodontal therapy(SPT) is essential for the long-term success of periodontal treatment. A patient's compliance with SPT is one of the most important factors affecting periodontal status. There are few studies quantifying compliance with SPT. The aim of this study is to quantify patient's compliance using new method and evaluate tooth loss depending on patient's supportive periodontal treatment compliance index(SPTCI) with SPT. This study included subjects diagnosed with generalized moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, who had completed active periodontal treatment and had SPT over 5 years in Wonkwang university dental hospital. Chart review and radiography analysis were performed. To quantify compliance, SPTCI representing average of gap between recommended schedules and actual visits has been used and evaluated with tooth loss. Mean period of SPT was 8.9 years and mean SPTCI was about 120. In statical analysis, patients who have higher SPTCI with SPT are more likely to have higher rate of tooth loss. Under SPTCI of 120, there were no significant co-relation between SPTCI and tooth loss. Patients diagnosed with moderate chronic periodontitis have significant co-relation between SPTCI and tooth loss, whereas patients diagnosed with severe chronic periodontitis have no co-relation. SPTCI, new method of quantifying compliance in this study, affected to tooth loss. This study suggests that using SPTCI could be helpful for prediction of tooth loss and be used to determine the interval of visit.

Up to the present, finger replantation patients have complained about various symptoms because of blood circulatory failure. Objective evaluation methods for the level of the blood circulatory failures in fingers were needed other than patient's subjective symptoms and complaints. Photoplethysmogram(PPG) measured from fingers is very useful for evaluation of vascular aging and sclerosis level since the PPG signal represents characteristics of peripheral vascular. Several researchers have reported that second derivative of the finger PPG waveform was useful to evaluate vascular compliance and developed various analysis methods for vascular compliance. However, vascular compliance study for finger replantation patient was never evaluated by using second derivative of PPG. Therefore, we aimed to objectively compare and to assess normal and replanted finger vascular compliance using the second derivative of PPG waveform in this study. The evaluated factors of second derivative of PPG are 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e' and b/a represents vascular compliance. Study found out that when vascular compliance is decreased, b/a is increased, the absolute value of b/a is decreased. For 43 finger replantation patients, the average vascular compliance of replanted finger is lower than the normal finger statistically(p=0.001). we suggested an objective evaluation of finger vascular compliance for finger replantation patients and effect of surgical operation.

Objectives: To investigate compliance of hypertension patients using modified Theory of Reasoned Action(TRA). Methods: The data were collected for 7-12 April 1997, by interviewing 190 Hypertension patients in Hwachon, Kangwon-do. The analytical techniques employed include contingency table analysis and logit analysis. Results: 15.1% of patients were unaware of the fact that he/she has hypertension and 11.2% did not know that he/she should take drug. 20.8% of patients took drug continuously, 20.1% had drug intermittently, and 53.1% had never have treatment. In the contingency table analysis, several variables were found to be significantly related to patient compliance. They included variables for attitude towards the consequences of taking drugs, normative beliefs, systolic BP at the enrollment, knowledge of how to take hypertensive drugs, variables for general health behavior and experience with having health worker's home visit. The logit analysis was performed by two steps. first step uses experience with drug treatment of hypertension as the dependent variable, and second step uses continuity of treatment. Included in the predictors that are significantly related to the former analysis are subjected norms produced by combining normative beliefs and motivation to comply, knowledge of how to take hypertensive drugs, and opinion about natural recovery of diseases. The only significant determinant of continuous treatment was knowledge of how to take hypertensive drugs. Conclusions: The results of analysis suggest the usefulness of TRA as a framework for the study of compliance of hypertensive patients. The findings have some practical implication as well. One is that efforts for enhancing compliance should be directed not only patients but also to other persons influencing patient's attitude and behavior. It also suggest that correct understanding of hypertension treatment is essential to perform the appropriate patient role.

Biopharmaceuticals, with their ability to treat many unmet needs, are seen as promising medications in diabetes mellitus, growth hormone deficiency, chronic renal failure, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, almost all biopharmaceuticals should be administrated by injection; IV, IM, and SC. In addition, these treatments are long term, and patients should receive frequent injections for many years. Patient compliance is therefore of critical importance to ensure treatment benefits. Therefore, the goal of drug product development should be focused on improving patient compliance by reducing injection-associated pain as well as stable formulation development. This review will suggest the kinds of factors that should be considered to minimize injection pain with regard to formulation, device, and injection procedures focused on SC injections.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the compliance behavior of hypertensive patients in light of their health belief model that explains an individual's compliance with health maintenance or getting well. Although there are many effective regimens and treatments for hypertension nowadays. the most important point to be taken to consideration in their behavioral aspect is their compliance with regard to the control of body weight. eating habits as to salt and cholesterol intake. stresses. activity patterns and smoking as related to their life style. The important reasons for the failure in the control of hypertensive patients are the complexity of regimens to be complied to. irregular medication and the life long restrictions in their own life style. The compliance of patients to medical regimens and rocommendations or failure to do so is an essential factor. Accordingly. the degree of the patient's compliance is an important determinant as to the success or failure of hypertension control. The subjects for this study were 187 hypertensive patients selected from admitted and out patients of the medical department at seven University Hospitals in Seoul. Data was collected from Dec. 1, 1979 to Feb. 15, 1980 using the questionaire method and was analysed by the use of means. standard deviations, coefficient of correlations, analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis. The results obtained are as follows A. Of the seven independent variables in light of health belief model. benefit. barrier and severity are closely related to patient's compliance behavior. Therefore these variables could be used as determinants to predict and modify the hypertensive behavior. 1. Benefit is the most important and significant of the variables for explaining the dependent variables. It accounts for the highest variance of patient's compliance. (23.62%) 2. Then taking the former together with barrier. the variance of compliance showed on increase. (26.59%) 3. And with the addition of severity to the first two. the variance of compliance was also increased. (28.l2 %) B. Except for susceptibility all the independent variables such as severity. benefit, knowledge. motivation and barrier are correlated to dependent variable compliance. C. Sex. marital status and religion appeared to have significant influence on the dependent variables. Therefore one could conclude that the more the patients are aware that hypertension is a threat to health. the more they understand the benefit of taking actions to prevent such a threat. and the less they perceive any barrier when taking action. the more compliant they become in following medical regimens and recommendations. Age. marital status and religion played a significant influence to their compliance. Accordingly. the selected structural variables and demographic variables which have influenced sick role behavior of the hypertensive patient must be integrated to teaching and counselling programs for better hypertension control.
