Poor medication adherence in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) had a negative impact on disease outcomes. In this study, we aimed to determine predictors of low adherence in the Chinese IBD populations and also aimed to compare a self-reported scale to a pharmacy refill index in assessing adherence of 5-ASA and azathioprine taken by Chinese IBD patients.
