RESUMO
JUSTIFICATIVA E

OBJETIVOS:

A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é um problema de saúde pública tanto em países desenvolvidos quanto em desenvolvimento. Adesão a fármacos prescritos representa importante fator de bom prognóstico para os pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as taxas de adesão a fármacos anti-hipertensivos de pacientes hipertensos.

MÉTODOS:

Estudo de mundo real, multicêntrico, transversal, prospectivo e analítico, que recrutou 850 pacientes hipertensos (média de idade de 62 ± 11 anos, 225 homens e 625 mulheres) no período de agosto de 2010 a julho de 2012. Foram avaliadas as características clínicas, sociais, econômicas e culturais dos pacientes.A adesão aos fármacos anti-hipertensivos foi avaliada através do questionário de Morisky-Green. Foi realizada estatística descrita das prevalências das características analisadas.

RESULTADOS:

As principais características clínicas, sociais, econômicas e culturais dos pacientes foram dislipidemia (DLP) 319 pacientes (37%), diabetes mellitus (DM) 213 (25%), tabagismo 204 (24%), doença arterial periférica 159 (19%), acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) prévio 69 (8%), doença renal crônica 37 (4%),analfabetismo 303 (35%), doença arterial coronariana (DAC) 85 (10%). Antecedentes familiares HAS 142 (17%), DAC 96(11,2%), AVE 94 (11%), DM 90 (10%), DLP 77 (9%) e doença renal crônica 27 (3%). A taxa de adesão a fármacos anti-hipertensivos foi de 40%.

CONCLUSÃO:

A taxa de adesão aos anti-hipertensivos foi baixa, refletindo que menos da metade dos pacientes tomavam adequadamente os fármacos. Portanto a sua adesão representou importante fator do tratamento de hipertensos que necessita ser melhorado.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVES:

Systemic hypertension (SH) is a public health problem both in developed and developing countries. Adherence to antihypertensive drugs representsan important factor for good patients' prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the rate of adherence to antihypertensive drugs among hypertensive patients.

METHODS:

This is a multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective, analytical, real world registry, which enrolled 850 hypertensive patients (mean age 62 ± 11 years, 225 men and 650 women) between August 2010 and July 2012. Clinical, social, cultural and economic characteristics were evaluated. The adherence to antihypertensive drugs was assessed by Morisky-Green questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.

RESULTS:

The main clinical, social, cultural and economic characteristics were dyslipidemia (DLP), 319 patients (37%); diabetes mellitus (DM), 213 (25%); smoking,204 (24%); peripheral artery disease, 159 (19%); prior stroke, 69 (8%); chronic renal disease (CRD), 37 (4%); illiteracy, 303 (35%); coronary artery disease (CAD), 85 (10%). Family history systemic hypertension, 142 (17%); CAD, 96 (11.2%); stroke, 94 (11%); DM, 90 (10%); DLP, 77 (9%); and CRD, 27 (3%). The rate of adherence to antihypertensive drugs was of 40%.

CONCLUSION:

The rate of adherence to antihypertensive drugs was low, showing that less than 50% of the patients were taking their medicines according to recommendations. Therefore, adherence to antihypertensive drugs represents an important point of treatment that should be improved.
