Why the study?

Around 10% of hypertensive patients have resistant hypertension, but further data were needed to evaluate its prevalence and associated factors.

What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors associated with resistant hypertension in adult patients at a tertiary care clinic?

Comparison

Resistant hypertension vs non-resistant hypertension

Design

Cross-sectional study

Overview

Clinic prevalence estimates require cautious application; leaves open causal validation in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors associated with resistant hypertension in adult patients at a tertiary care clinic?

P
Population
275 adult patients registered with the hypertension clinic and on care for more than three months at a tertiary care referral hospital in South India. Mean age 56 ± 10 years, 61% females.
O
Outcome
Prevalence of resistant hypertension and associated risk factors

Resistant hypertension affects approximately 11% of treated hypertensive patients in this South Indian cohort, with obesity, longer disease duration, and elevated fasting blood glucose identified as key risk factors.
