Adherence
Significant initial weight loss (decrease in BMI) is a strong predictor of high adherence to liraglutide treatment.
If you experience significant weight loss in the first few months of liraglutide treatment, you are much more likely to stick with the medication long-term. This positive feedback loop is a key factor in maintaining adherence.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
A greater decrease in BMI was associated with improved adherence (OR 1.251, 95% CI 1.167–1.341; p < 0.001).
Why this rating
