Perceived Barriers to Patient Adherence After Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation
Perceived Barriers to Patient Adherence After Pediatric Solid Organ Transplantation (CTOTC-05)

Adhering to treatment regimens after solid organ transplantation is critical for the prevention of complications, including acute and chronic organ rejection. It is important to recognize the perceived barriers to following treatment regimens and identify ways to address these barriers early in the course of treatment. In this study, doctors will observe how and when pediatric patients who have received a solid organ transplant take their prescribed medication, and determining if there are reasons that keep these patients from taking all of their medicine.
