The Adherence to Refills and Medication Scale (ARMS) is a reliable and validated scale for chronic patients (it has been compared against pharmaceutical registries, the MAQ questionnaire and clinical evaluation) [1]. It consists of 4 items that are interested in compliance when renewing prescriptions and 8 items regarding adherence to the medication regimen. The possible responses are 4 different options and scaled from 1 ("no time") to 4 ("all times"), assuming that a higher total score (ranging from 12 to 48) represents worse adherence to medication [2].
