Abstract: Introduction: Lack of adherence to treatment of patients with oral anticoagulation is a cause of thromboembolic or hemorrhagic complications related to multiple factors. Objective: To determine the risk involved in cardiac patients for not adhering to the treatment of oral anticoagulation and analyze influencing factors. Material and methods: Analytical, prospective transversal study from August to November 2012. Nonrandomized sample n = 297; included adult patients under oral anticoagulation treatment attending the Anticoagulant Clinic. Data collected with a validated instrument with four dimensions: socioeconomic factor; therapy; provider and health system; and patient; 42 items with Likert value of 0-2; 0-60% = high risk of non-adherence, 61-80% = moderate risk, and ≥ 81% = no risk. Statistical analysis with frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviation; Pearson tests (adhesion and factors), Student’s t (adherence, sex and origin), ANOVA (adherence, and treatment time) and Kruskal Wallis (academic and adherence); significance p < 0.05. Results: 60% of low socioeconomic level, 76% are without risk of not adhering and 23% moderate risk; only SE has moderate risk factor (88.41 ± 13.9). Adherence factors associated more with PSS (r = 0.774, p = 0.000) and SE (r www.medigraphic.org.mx
