ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: la hipertensión arterial es una de las principales causas de enfermedad cardiovascular. Se encuentra una limitada caracterización local de su tratamiento en nuestra población. Metodología: estudio de corte transversal sobre la prescripción de fármacos antihipertensivos, la efectividad del tratamiento y la inercia clínica en pacientes atendidos en 2014. Se estableció la efectividad según el Sevent Report of the Joint National Committee y se definió inercia clínica como la falta de modificaciones para alcanzar la meta terapéutica. Se incluyeron variables sociodemográficas y farmacológicas. Se aplicaron modelos de regresión logística. Resultados: de un total de 4.195 pacientes, se obtuvo una muestra aleatoria de 309, el 54,7% eran mujeres y 52,8% tenían más de 60 años. Los antihipertensivos más utilizados fueron losartán e hidroclorotiazida (20,8% cada uno). Se halló un control de cifras tensionales en el 75,3% de un total de 675 consultas y de las 167 visitas que no presentaron control tensional se evidenció inercia clínica en 47,9%. Tener prescrito concomitantemente un antidiabético se asoció con menor probabilidad de que se presentara inercia clínica (p=0,032; OR: 0,21; IC95%: 0,051-0,879). Conclusión: la proporción de pacientes que no logran las metas de control de tensión arterial y la frecuencia de inercia clínica es menor que en otras series de pacientes.


Abstract Introduction: Arterial hypertension is one of the main causes of cardiovascular disease. The characteristics of its treatment in the population at a local level are relatively unknown. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the prescribing of antihypertensive drugs, the efficacy of the treatment, as well as the clinical inertia in patients seen in the year 2014. The efficacy was established according to the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee, and clinical inertia was defined as lack of modifications to achieve the therapeutic aim. Sociodemographic and pharmacological variables were included in the logistical regression models. Results: Out of a total sample of 4,195 patients, a randomised sample of 309 patients was obtained, of which 54.7% were women, and 52.8% were over 60 years of age. The antihypertensive drugs most used were losartan and hydrochlorothiazide (20.8% each). Blood pressure control was observed in 75.3% of a total of 675 clinical visits, and of the 167 visits where the blood pressure was not controlled, there was evidence of clinical inertia in 47.9%. To have a concomitant antidiabetic drug prescribed was associated with a lower possibility of there being clinical inertia (P=.032; OR: 0.21; 95% CI: 0.051-0.879). Conclusion: The proportion of patients that do not achieve the targets of blood pressure control, as well as the frequency of clinical inertia, are lower than those found in other patient series.
