Overview

Unmatched case-control study identifies determinants of uncontrolled blood pressure in hypertensive patients, highlighting medical comorbidity and medication adherence.

Key Points

  • Uncontrolled blood pressure poses a significant health risk among hypertensive patients, linked to various determinants.
  • Medical comorbidity is a major factor, increasing odds of uncontrolled hypertension with an AOR of 3.12.
  • Poor knowledge and medication non-adherence also contribute, with AORs of 2.71 and 1.85, respectively.
  • Older age, low-sodium diet non-adherence, and high distress levels further exacerbate the risk of uncontrolled hypertension.
