Prescriber continuity and disease control of older adults.
The objective of this study was to examine whether glycemic control or lipid control was associated with the number of prescribers of cardiometabolic medications. It concluded that multiple prescribers were associated with worse disease control, possibly because patients with more severe diabetes or dyslipidemia have multiple prescribers or because care fragmentation is associated with worse disease control.

Financial strain and medication adherence among diabetes patients in an integrated health care delivery system: The Diabetes Study of Northern California (DISTANCE).
The researchers examined self-reported financial strain in relation to pharmacy utilization adherence data. Their analysis of survey, administrative, and electronic medical data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California found that 8 percent and 9 percent reported general and medication-specific financial strain. In adjusted models, general strain was significantly associated with primary nonadherence and refilling late and medication-specific strain was ssociated with primary nonadherence.
