Hypertension Treatment Adherence and Blood Pressure Control in Rural China

2024 quarterly follow-up data from 5,029 adults with diagnosed hypertension in rural Hubei Province. The study examines longitudinal associations between composite treatment-adherence patterns and blood pressure control, assessing medication use, adherence levels, and time in target range.

Use Cases

• Analyze longitudinal blood pressure control trends across quarterly visits for patients on monotherapy versus combination therapy.
• Model the association between medication adherence status (adherent, partially adherent, non-adherent) and the likelihood of achieving blood pressure control.
• Examine sex-specific differences in how poor adherence adversely impacts blood pressure control outcomes.
• Calculate annual Time in Target Range (TTR) as a proportion of visits meeting the blood pressure target across the cohort.

Strengths

• Contains data from 5,029 adult patients with diagnosed hypertension.
• Provides longitudinal data from four consecutive quarterly follow-up visits in 2024.
• Integrates composite exposure variables combining medication use and adherence patterns.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single year (2024) and a specific rural region in Hubei Province.
• Data is presented in a DOCX file format, which may require extraction to a structured format for analysis.
• The underlying raw tabular data (rows and columns) is not directly accessible from the provided document.
