Is health-related quality of life associated with blood pressure control in patients with uncontrolled hypertension?
Worse health-related quality of life is significantly associated with poor blood pressure control in hypertensive patients, suggesting that psychological support and comorbidity management may be necessary alongside pharmacotherapy.
Lee et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Uncontrolled hypertension (n=1,011). Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D VAS) was evaluated on Blood pressure control at 6 months. Worse health-related quality of life at 6 months was significantly correlated with uncontrolled blood pressure (n=367) compared to controlled blood pressure (n=532).
