What are the predictors of medication nonadherence in patients with hypertension?
Odds Ratio: 0.127 (95% CI 0.04–0.87)
Polypharmacy, comorbidities, side effect concerns, and poor quality of life are major predictors of medication nonadherence in hypertensive patients.
Jarab et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in hypertension (n=300). Poor health-related quality of life vs. Better health-related quality of life was evaluated on Medication nonadherence (OR 0.127, 95% CI 0.04-0.87). Poor health-related quality of life (OR 0.127; 95% CI 0.04-0.87) and concerns about side effects (OR 0.165; 95% CI 0.09-0.95) were strongly associated with medication nonadherence in hypertension.
