Objective To investigate the status of roxadustat in patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis and analyze the factors affecting drug compliance. Methods Patients with renal anemia undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from July 2020 to March 2021 were selected. All patients took roxadustat orally. According to the medication compliance, the patients were divided into good compliance group and poor compliance group. The general information questionnaire and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) were used to investigate and analyze the included patients, and their clinical examination indexes were collected. Results A total of 100 patients were included, Including 39 cases (39%) in the good compliance group and 61 cases (61%) in the poor compliance group. The average score of medication compliance of roxadustat was 5.19±1.72. Logistic regression analysis showed that drug cognition [odds ratio (OR)=0.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.027, 0.365), P=0.001], medication troubles/complex protocol [OR=5.330, 95%CI (1.567, 18.132), P=0.007], and adverse drug reactions [OR=5.453, 95%CI (1.619, 18.368), P=0.006] were factors affecting patient compliance. Hemoglobin in the good compliance group was lower than that in the poor compliance group (Z=−2.259, P=0.024); there was no significant difference in other clinical examination indexes (P>0.05). Conclusions The overall compliance of oral roxadustat in maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients is poor, and the corresponding follow-up management system should be improved. Nurses should provide comprehensive and systematic medication guidance to patients, encourage them to fully understand the clinical manifestations, treatment schemes and prognosis of renal anemia, clarify the time, dose, possible adverse reactions and mitigation methods of roxadustat, etc., and help them to treat the disease with correct cognition and attitude, so as to improve their drug compliance.
