Background: Medication nonadherence is a known risk factor for adverse outcomes in the general population. However, little is known about the association of predialysis medication adherence among patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and mortality following their transition to dialysis.Study Design: Observational study.Setting & Participants: 32,348 US veterans who transitioned to dialysis during 2007 to 2011.Predictors: Adherence to treatment with cardiovascular drugs, ascertained from pharmacy database records using proportion of days covered (PDC) and persistence during the predialysis year.Outcomes: Post-dialysis therapy initiation all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, using Cox models with adjustment for confounders.Results: Mean age of the cohort was 72 6 11 (SD) years; 96% were men, 74% were white, 23% were African American, and 69% had diabetes. During a median follow-up of 23 (IQR, 9-36) months, 18,608 patients died. Among patients with PDC. 80%, there were 14,006 deaths (mortality rate, 283 [95% CI, 278-288]/1,000 patient-years]); among patients with PDC. 60% to 80%, there were 3,882 deaths (mortality rate, 294 [95% CI, 285-304]/1,000 patient-years); among patients with PDC
