Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a risk factor for heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. It is also the major cause of premature death. Thus, it is important to prevent, treat, and control hypertension and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To determine the level of blood pressure control and associated factors based on the new intensive blood pressure goals (<130/80 mmHg).

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used to assess the level of blood pressure control and associated factors from February 15 to April 15, 2019. Two hundred and sixteen patients were selected through a systematic sampling technique.

Results: From 203 hypertension patients incorporated in the study, 102 (50.2%) were females. The mean age of patients documented during the last date of follow-up was 55.2 (SD=±14.47). About 51.2% of patients were less than 5 years from the day of diagnosis of hypertension. The majority of the study participants (111, 54.7%) were using two antihypertensives. The most common anti-hypertensive medication was hydrochlorothiazide (HCT), at 25 (12.3%). The most common combination drug therapy used was the combination of HCT and calcium channel blockers, at 62 (30.5%). Heart failure (22, 20.8%), stroke (18, 16.98%), and dyslipidemia (17, 16.04%) were the top three comorbidities. Based on the new intensive targets of blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg), the blood pressure was controlled for only 25 (12%) patients.

Conclusion: The level of blood pressure control for hypertensive patients on chronic follow-up at Dessie Referral Hospital was very poor.

埃塞俄比亚东北部Dessie转诊医院高血压患者慢性随访中强化血压指标的血压控制
背景:高血压是心、脑、肾和其他疾病的危险因素。它也是过早死亡的主要原因。因此,预防、治疗和控制高血压以及降低心血管疾病的风险是非常重要的。目的:根据新的强化血压目标确定患者的血压控制水平及相关因素(方法:采用横断面研究设计,评估2019年2月15日至4月15日患者的血压控制水平及相关因素。通过系统抽样技术选取216例患者。结果:203例高血压患者中,女性102例(50.2%)。最后一次随访时记录的患者平均年龄为55.2岁(SD=±14.47)。约51.2%的患者自诊断为高血压之日起不到5年。大多数研究参与者(111人,54.7%)同时使用两种抗高血压药物。最常见的降压药物是氢氯噻嗪(HCT),占25%(12.3%)。最常见的联合药物治疗是HCT和钙通道阻滞剂的联合治疗,占62%(30.5%)。心衰(22,20.8%)、中风(18,16.98%)和血脂异常(17,16.04%)是前三大合并症。结论:德西转诊医院慢性随访高血压患者血压控制水平较差。
