In the analysis of the study, four different regression models were established. In the first model, socio-demographic characteristics; in the second model, disease characteristics; in the third model, health care use characteristics: in the fourth model, the effect of all these variables on treatment effectiveness was examined.Results: In the study, smoking status, age (socio-demographic characteristics), drug regimen complexity, comorbidity status, education about the disease, disease duration (disease characteristics), and a number of admissions (health care use characteristics), were found to have a significant effect on treatment effectiveness.Conclusion: In the study, the factors affecting the treatment effectiveness were determined.
