Rate of blood pressure control and its determinants among adult hypertensive patients at Jimma University Medical Center, Ethiopia: Prospective cohort study

Abstract

The rate of blood pressure control among hypertensive patients was suboptimal. Age, clinicians' non-adherence to international guidelines, and patients' non-adherence to medications were independent predictors of blood pressure control. Physicians and clinical pharmacists should adhere to guidelines for better treatment and care of hypertensive patients.
