Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM) has recently been explored internationally as an improved approach to measuring medication adherence (MA) by differentiating between alternative temporal patterns of nonadherence. To build on this international research, we use the method to identify temporal patterns of medication adherence to antidepressants, bisphosphonates or statins, and their associations with patient characteristics. The objectives include identification of MA types using GBTM, exploration of features and associated patient characteristics of each MA type, and identification of the advantages of GBTM compared to the traditional proportion of days covered (PDC) measure. We used 45 and Up Study survey data which contains information about demographics, family, health, diet, work and lifestyle of 267,153 participants aged at least 45 years across New South Wales, Australia. This data was linked to participant records of medication use, outpatient and inpatient care, and death. Our study participants initiated use of antidepressants (9287 participants), bisphosphonates (1660 participants) or statins (10,242 participants) during 2012–2016. MA types were identified from 180-day patterns of medication use for antidepressants and 360-day patterns for bisphosphonates and statins. Multinomial and binomial logistic regressions were performed to estimate participant characteristics associated with GBTM MA and PDC MA, respectively. Three GBTM MA types were identified for antidepressants and six for bisphosphonates and statins. For all three medications, MA types included: almost fully adherent; decreasing adherence and early discontinuation. The additional nonadherent types for bisphosphonates and statins were improved adherence, low adherence and later discontinuation. Participant characteristics impacting GBTM MA and PDC MA were consistent. However, several associations were uniquely found for GBTM MA as compared to PDC MA. GBTM permits clinicians, policy-makers and researchers to differentiate between alternative nonadherence patterns, allowing them to better identify patients at risk of poor adherence and tailor interventions accordingly.
