German term or phrase: NONKOMMBLEIBEN
A survey of patients has the word NONKOMMBLEIBEN. A single word and no other context can be given other than the colun heading which reads "We’ve learned from previous research that some patients are more difficult to get to their treatment goal than others. From your experience, which types of patient do YOU consider to be the most difficult to get to their treatment goal?" So what could this word actually be??

Note that the word does not form a part of a sentence.
Any ideas??

Thanks

agree  Ken Cox: Perhaps 'persistently noncompliant' (for the 'bleiben' part); 'recalcitrant' also comes to mind, but that might exaggerate the original meaning.
