摘要：

Medication adherence in African-American and European- American pediatric renal transplant recipients was evaluated by four separate measures. Demographic and medical factors were analyzed. Based on pill count/refill history, European-American females were more compliant than their male counterparts. Based on self-ratings of compliance, African-American recipients were more compliant if they had vs.had not had dialysis experience prior to their transplant. These recipients also had higher self-ratings of compliance if their donors were cadaveric rather than living related.
