Table 2 Immunosuppression Non-Adherence of the Study Sample Measured Based on the BAASIS© Instrument (n=133)

Adherence Behavior in Previous 4 Weeks		N (%) (n=133)	Total N (%)
1. Not taking a dose of immunosuppressive medications in the past 4 weeks	Once	26 (19.5)	40 (30)
	More than once	14 (10.6)
2. Not taking multiple consecutive doses of immunosuppressive medications in the past 4 weeks	Once	14 (10.5)	22 (16.6)
	More than once	8 (6.1)
3. Taking immunosuppressive medications at least two hours earlier or later than the time indicated on the dosing administration schedule in the past 4 weeks	Once	54 (40.6)	113 (86.7)
	More than once	59 (45.9)
4. Reducing the dosage of immunosuppressive medications on your own initiative in the past 4 weeks	Once	14 (10.5)	21 (15.8)
	More than once	7 (5.3)
Sum	Once	108 (81.2)
	More than once	88 (66.17)
5. Self-rated score on correct administration of © immunosuppressive medications (min: 0, max: 10)^a	Non-adherent	7.72 (±1.98)

Notes: Patients were non-adherent patients if they answered yes to the 4 first BAASIS© questions. ^aQuestion 5 was a Visual Analogue Scale (0−10) with higher scores indicating better adherence. The absolute value was taken and a mean score over all patients was calculated (±SD).
