ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Evaluar las características de la atención del paciente hipertenso, y su relación con el descontrol de la presión arterial, en una unidad de medicina familiar. Material y métodos. Diseño: estudio transversal. Se revisó la mitad de 8 080 (4 040) expedientes. Se registraron las características de los pacientes, los médicos tratantes y la unidad de atención. Resultados. Se encontraron como factores asociados a la hipertensión descontrolada la edad (RM, 1.43; IC95%: 1.015-1.030), IMC (RM, 1.03; IC95%: 1.02-1.05), creatinina (RM, 1.16; IC95%: 1.03-1.30), tomar tres o más fármacos antihipertensivos (RM, 1.48; IC95%: 1.31-1.07), ser atendido por un médico con más de 20 años de antigüedad (RM, 1.21; IC95%: 1.06-1.39), sin especialidad (RM, 1.43; IC95%: 1.20-1.71) y ser atendido en el turno matutino (RM, 1.21; IC95%: 1.07-1.56). Conclusiones. La presión arterial está bien controlada en la mayoría de los pacientes. En el descontrol de la presión arterial intervienen factores relacionados con el paciente mismo, pero las características del sistema de salud también tienen un papel significativo.


Objective. To assess health care characteristics for hypertensive patients and their association with uncontrolled hypertension in a primary care outpatient clinic. Material and Methods. Design: cross-sectional. A review was conducted of 50% of 8080 (n= 4040) files. Patient, physician and primary health care clinic characteristics were recorded. Results. The factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension were: age (OR, 1.43; CI95% : 1.015-1.030), BMI (OR, 1.03; CI95%: 1.02-1.05), creatinine serum levels (OR, 1.16; CI95%: 1.03-1.30), three or more different antihypertensive drugs (OR, 1.48; CI95%: 1.31-1.07), to be treated by a physician with more than 20 years of medical practice (OR, 1.21; CI95%; 1.06-1.39) or by a non-specialist physician (OR, 1.43; CI95%: 1.20-1.71) and to be treated in the morning shift (OR, 1.21; CI95%: 1.07- 1.56) Conclusions. Hypertension is well-controlled in the majority of patients. Patient-related factors are important in uncontrolled hypertension; however, health care system characteristics also play an important role.
