Is treatment satisfaction associated with health-related quality of life in hypertensive patients?
Effect estimate: r = 0.16
p-value: p=<0.001
Higher treatment satisfaction is positively correlated with better health-related quality of life in hypertensive patients.
Al‐Jabi et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=410). Treatment satisfaction was evaluated on Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L index scores) (r = 0.16, p=<0.001). Higher treatment satisfaction was associated with better health-related quality of life, where a 1-point increase in satisfaction correlated with a 0.16 increase in EQ-5D scores (r=0.16, P<0.001).
