<p>Additional Antihypertensives used among hypertensive patients taking CCB at ATRH and Y1

2025 data from 292 hypertensive patients taking calcium channel blockers (CCB) at two Ethiopian healthcare centers (ATRH and Y12HMC). The dataset, authored by Koricho Simie Tolla and updated in March 2026, likely contains information on additional antihypertensive medications prescribed alongside CCBs.

Use Cases

• Analyze prescribing patterns for additional antihypertensive drugs based on the description of patients taking CCBs.
• Study the association between CCB use and peripheral edema based on the mention of this side effect.
• Assess risk factors for hypertension complications based on the mention of 'Major Risk Factor' in the tags.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse and redistribution.
• Data collection year (2025) and patient count (292) are explicitly stated.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its collection from two Ethiopian centers.
