Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Medication Adherence Report Scale-5

Medication Adherence Report Scale-5: Scores from the 5-point Likert-type scale vary between 5 and 25. An increase in the obtained scores indicates compatibility, and a decrease in scores indicates inconsistency.

Time frame: 24 weeks

MedTake Test

MedTake Test: It is used to evaluate the use of prescribed oral drugs and to numerically show patients' compliance with drug treatments. With the scale, the daily dose, time and frequency of taking the drug, its effect and reason for taking it, and its relationship with food (hungry-full) are evaluated for each drug. For these 4 parameters, patients score out of 25. In total, the level of knowledge for each drug is scored out of 100. Compliance score for all treatments is calculated with all scores of the patients. Compliance score of the participants in the study is calculated with the total compliance score obtained by each participant.

Time frame: 24 weeks

Liver Disease Symptom Index 2.0

Liver Disease Symptom Index 2.0: The scale is divided into two parts and includes 24 questions in total. The first part consists of a total of 18 questions, 9 main and 9 sub-questions, questioning the effects of the disease in the last 1 week, and the second part consists of 6 main questions questioning the effects of the disease from the time the patient learned about the disease to the present. The answer to each question in the scale receives a score between a minimum of '1' and a maximum of '5'. '1' is the lowest score; '5' represents the highest score. Higher scores from the scale indicate worse quality of life.
