What factors are associated with therapeutic inertia in primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
What factors are associated with therapeutic inertia in primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Therapeutic inertia in hypertension management is common and associated with older age, proximity to target BP, and concurrent diabetes.
Should not yet change hypertension practice; leaves open whether targeting these factors reduces inertia in prospective studies.
Therapeutic inertia is common in primary care patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Older age, and closer to target BP, but also concurrent diabetes were associated with inertia.
