Prevalence and predictors of clinic appointment non-adherence among adults with poorly controlled hypertension in a primary care setting

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of non-adherence to clinic appointments was high. Being employed, patients or their children's inability to pay medical bills, and higher SBP were predictors of non-adherence to clinic appointments. Therefore, more studies are needed on effective interventions to reduce non-adherence to clinic appointments in this setting.PMID:35957928 | PMC:PMC9334959 | DOI:10.4314/gmj.v55i4.4
