Poor mercaptopurine (6MP) adherence (mean adherence rate < 90%) increases the relapse risk among children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). 6MP adherence remains difficult to measure in real time. Easily measured patient‐level factors could identify patients at risk for poor adherence.
Methods
The authors measured 6MP adherence via electronic monitoring for 6 months per patient...
