Key result
Adherence to antihypertensive medication was significantly associated with achieving target blood pressure control compared to non-adherence in adult patients with primary hypertension.
Why the study?
Does medication adherence improve blood pressure control in adult Nigerians with primary hypertension?
Cross-Sectional (n=140)
No
Does medication adherence improve blood pressure control in adult Nigerians with primary hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 75% vs 5%
p-value: p=0.03
Medication adherence is low (42.9%) among adult Nigerians with primary hypertension, which is significantly associated with poor blood pressure control rates (35.0%).

Adherence assessment may inform BP control evaluation in Nigerian primary care; leaves open whether adherence interventions improve outcomes.
Iloh et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Primary hypertension (n=140). Medication adherence vs. Non-adherence was evaluated on Blood pressure control (< 140/90 mmHg) (p=0.03). Adherence to antihypertensive medication was significantly associated with achieving target blood pressure control compared to non-adherence in adult patients with primary hypertension.
