Abstract:

Objective:According to the acceptance of electronic medication monitors (EMM) after its comprehensive promotion in Jilin Province, analyze the relevant factors affecting the adoption rate of EMM. Methods:Collect the medical record data about adoption of EMM among tuberculosis patients registered in Jilin Province in 2019 at different times, in different regions and with different characteristics. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the current status and influencing factors of EMM usage in tuberculosis patients. Results:In 2019, 8435 tuberculosis patients were registered in the EMM promotion regions, and 5231 patients accepted EMM management, the adoption rate of EMM was 62.02%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that patients being 20-39 years old (OR=1.264, 95%CI: 1.026-1.558) or 40-59 years old (OR=1.280, 95%CI: 1.045-1.567), non-Han ethnic groups (OR=2.176, 95%CI: 1.691-2.801), with an occupation farmer or herdsman (OR=1.189, 95%CI: 1.081-1.308), local patients (OR=3.425, 95%CI: 2.968-3.952), patient coming from referral or tracking (OR=1.747, 95%CI: 1.588-1.921), etiologically positive (OR=3.437,95%CI:2.779-4.250) or negative (OR=3.454,95%CI:2.790-4.278) patients, newly treated patients(OR=3.024, 95%CI: 2.511-3.642) got a higher rate of using EMM. Conclusion:As a tool for supervision of medication for patients, EMM can be popularized and used in Jilin Province, especially for patients aged 20-59, farmers and herdsmen, local registered residence patients, patients coming from referral and tracking, etiologically positive and negative patients and newly treated patients.
