Abstract
Introduction/Objective: Identify the factors associated with poor blood pressure control in hypertensive patients followed up in the cardiology outpatient consultation unit of CHU-YO.
Methodology: This was a two-month cross-sectional study with a descriptive and analytical focus.
Results: A total of 288 hypertensive patients were included in the study. 137 cases had poor blood pressure control, representing 47.57% of the total. In terms of sociodemographic characteristics, females dominated at 67.4% with a sex ratio of 0.48, and the average age was 60.2 ± 13.9 years. Cardiovascular risk factors were dominated by dyslipidemia, which accounted for 53.5%. The average of cases with a previous history of hypertension was 7.1 ± 5.1 years. In terms of treatment, fixed dual therapy was predominant with a rate of 57.3%. In multivariate analysis, urban residence, the presence of acute complications, and poor treatment adherence were associated with poor blood pressure control.
Conclusion: This study highlights the key factors contributing to poor blood pressure in hypertensive patients, such as life in urban settings, complications such as strokes, and poor treatment adherence, emphasizing the importance of holistic management.
