This study confirms that adherence in patients on DOACs cannot be taken for granted. High necessity beliefs do not guarantee good adherence, as side effects impair adherence even in patients having high necessity beliefs. Therefore, we recommend that both physicians and pharmacists evaluate both adherence and side effects with these patients on a regular base.
