To evaluate the effectiveness of a digital medication system in improving adherence among patients with serious mental disorders (SMD), we conducted a cluster-randomized controlled trial across 30 communities in Beijing. Participants, aged 18-65 years, were diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and either received intermittent medication or refused treatment. Recruitment occurred from September 2, 2022, to January 12, 2023. The intervention group received a digital medication system. The control group used an online medication diary. The primary outcome was poor adherence, defined as missing 20% or more of prescribed doses at 12 months. Among 216 recruited patients, 206 completed the study. The intervention group showed significantly higher adherence (84/108 vs. 23/108), with an adjusted risk difference of 52.34% (95% CI: 34.65%-70.03%; P < 0.0001). This trial provides the first robust evidence that the digital medication system can significantly improve medication adherence in patients with SMD. Trial Registration: The trial was registered on the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (chictr.org.cn) on May 29, 2022 (ChiCTR-ICR-2200060359).
为评估数字药物系统在提高严重精神障碍(SMD)患者服药依从性方面的有效性,我们在北京的30个社区开展了一项整群随机对照试验。参与者年龄在18至65岁之间,被诊断为精神分裂症或双相情感障碍,且要么接受间歇性药物治疗,要么拒绝治疗。招募时间为2022年9月2日至2023年1月12日。干预组使用数字药物系统,对照组使用在线服药日记。主要结局为依从性差,定义为在12个月时漏服20%或更多规定剂量的药物。在招募的216例患者中,206例完成了研究。干预组的依从性显著更高(84/108 vs. 23/108),调整后的风险差异为52.34%(95%CI:34.65%-70.03%;P < 0.0001)。本试验提供了首个有力证据,表明数字药物系统可显著提高严重精神障碍患者的服药依从性。试验注册:该试验于2022年5月29日在中国临床试验注册中心(chictr.org.cn)注册(ChiCTR-ICR-2200060359)。
