Children with chronic disorders are at risk for a higher medication non-adherence. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic childhood disorder where often medication non-adherence is an issue. The purpose of this study was to assess drug compliance of JIA patients,to find out the proportion of patients having poor drug compliance and to find out possible reasons of poor drug compliance. This was a retrospective study conducted in the Pediatric Rheumatology follow up clinic, Department of Pediatrics, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. All JIA patients attending pediatric rheumatology follow up clinic during the study period was included. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Among the total 900 registered JIA cases, 116(12.9%) patients had poor compliance. Among 116 poor compliant patients, systemic onset JIA cases were the highest (34.5%), followed by enthesitis related arthritis (30.2%). Among the poor compliant patients, 6.9% patients had regular follow up and 93.1% had irregular follow up. Major reasons of poor compliance were financial crisis, lack of awareness and difficulty in transportation. Poor compliance to treatment of JIA in our setting was common. The most important reason for poor compliance was financial crisis.
