Key result
The Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria (HTN) Program demonstrated an overall 37-day retention rate of 41% (95% CI, 37%-46%), with improved retention during the postintervention period (aOR 1.16).
Why the study?
High retention in clinical care is essential for long-term hypertension management, but 1-year retention rates are under 50% in many resource-limited settings.
Cohort (n=10,686)
Yes
Short-term retention in hypertension care in Nigerian primary care centers is suboptimal at 41%, highlighting the need for targeted implementation strategies to improve follow-up.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low retention in Nigerian primary hypertension care signals ongoing engagement challenges; leaves open targeted research on modifiable factors before practice changes.
Ye et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in hypertension (n=10,686). Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria (HTN) Program vs. Preintervention period was evaluated on 3-month rolling average 37-day retention rate in hypertension care (95% CI 37-46). The Hypertension Treatment in Nigeria (HTN) Program demonstrated an overall 37-day retention rate of 41% (95% CI, 37%-46%), with improved retention during the postintervention period (aOR 1.16).
