Objective: Identify the level of adherence to the treatment of epilepsy in patients of Hospital José III Cayetano Heredia and its associated factors. Methodology: observational, prospective, cross-sectional and analytical study. Adherence to treatment was assessed using the Scale of adaptation to medication and medical treatment. For the descriptive analysis, absolute and relative frequencies were used, and for the adaptation scale measures of central tendency and dispersion. For the bivariate analysis, the chi-square test and T-Student were used. Logistic regression analysis was used for the association of associated factors. Results: 56.58% were women, the average age of the patients surveyed was 36.67 ± 18.32 years, 56.58% came from outside Piura, in 35.53% the secondary level of schooling was reported, while Only 10.53% had no education, 43.42% of patients received 2 drugs, while 35.53% reported the use of 3 or more drugs. It was found that 44.74% of patients had the diagnosis for more than 10 years, while 40.79% were younger than 5 years. The generalized seizures were reported in 60.53% of patients. The level of adherence was bad with 77.63% of the patients. In the bivariate regression analysis it was found that having a diagnosis older than 10 years was associated with 1.02 times higher prevalence of good adherence (Rpc = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.13; p = 0.042 ), while having a generalized seizures was associated with 1.13 times the prevalence of good therapeutic adherence (Rpc = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.08-1.31; p = 0.003). In the multivariate regression analysis, adjusted for sex, age, residence, schooling, number of drugs and years of diagnosis, an association was found between presenting a generalized seizures with an increase in the prevalence of good adherence in 1.21 times (RPa = 1.21; 95% CI: 1.03 - 1.42; p = 0.021) than those with focal seizures. Conclusion: The level of adherence to epilepsy treatment is bad and the lack of adherence seems to be associated with the time of diagnosis and the type of crisis it presents, no statistical association was found in the other factors. Strategies to promote a better level of adherence can improve the prognosis of the disease and cost savings for health systems.
