A) ​Patient self-report; MEMS
B) ​MEMS; patient self-report
C) ​Practitioner self-report; MEMS
D) ​Exercise; MEMS

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study found that adherence measured by the MEMS system predicted survival over a 6-month period, whereas patient self-report did not. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. The other options are not relevant to the study or are incorrect.
