CVS Caremark Corporation Research Report
On September 12, 2013, CVS Caremark Corporation (CVS Caremark) announced that researchers at the Company and at Brigham and Women's Hospital have discovered that a new approach to classify patients by their long-term medication adherence behavior may be more accurate than traditional approaches. According to the Company, the researchers followed more than 264,000 statin-users over a 15-month period and created measures to account for different adherence behaviors in a study published in the September 2013 issue of Medical Care. CVS Caremark mentioned that the study utilized a new method of categorizing adherence called group-based trajectory modeling, which is based upon observed patterns of medication-filling over time. Associate Physician of the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, Niteesh Choudhry, MD, PhD, said "Our findings could help facilitate research on medication adherence and medication effectiveness in a variety of ways. For example, by using group-based trajectory modeling, we could help identify patients with distinct patterns of adherence so that health care professionals could appropriately target interventions. In addition, data related to the quantity and timing of medication availability could help improve our understanding of the effects of nonadherence on clinical outcomes."

Over the past six months we have improved financial flexibility, purchased the American designer brand Joseph Abboud and its U.S. manufacturing operations, and repurchased approximately $152 million of our shares; and we continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for our K&G operations."
