Patients with autoimmune liver diseases reported non-adherence to prescribed therapies, with those with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) reporting the highest rate of non‐adherence. The use of over-the-counter medications and steroids was negatively associated with treatment adherence.

METHODOLOGY:

They included 1097 non-transplanted adult patients with autoimmune liver diseases (mean age, 48 years; 79.67% women) from 15 European countries who had AIH (n = 444), PBC (n = 377), or PSC (n = 276) and were taking presc
