Effect of Adherence to Antihypertensive Medication on the Long-Term Outcome After Hemorrhagic Stroke in KoreaNovelty and Significance Hemorrhagic Stroke
Hypertension is the single most important risk factor for hemorrhagic stroke, a leading cause of mortality and disability worldwide. Adherence to antihypertensive medication is essential to achieving strict blood pressure control, but poor adherence is common in clinical practice. We evaluated adherence to antihypertensive medication in patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke and its effects on long-term outcome. This was a retrospective cohort study based on a nationwide health insurance claims database in South Korea. We included 1872 hypertensive patients who were admitted with acute hemorrhagic stroke during 2002 to 201...

Blood Pressure-Related Risk Among Users Versus Nonusers of AntihypertensivesNovelty and Significance Epidemiology/Population
In conclusion, this population-based study demonstrated that the associations between BP and adverse outcomes were J-shaped among active antihypertensive users, but linear or flat and then increasing among nonusers or irregular users.

Abstract P173: Target Blood Pressure in Elderly Hypertensive Patients: A Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Examinee Cohort Study Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception
This study used the National Health Insurance Service Health examinee Sample Cohort. We selected subjects who were over the age of 60 years and who had received a newly diagnosis of hypertension (Korean Classification of Disease [KCD] codes I10–I13) from 2003 to 2006. Subjects who had previous major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as heart failure, ischemic heart disease, stroke, or end stage renal disease (ESRD) were excluded. The remaining 25,858 individuals were divided into three groups; 1) mean systolic blood pressure (SBP)

Medication Adherence and the Risk of Cardiovascular Mortality and Hospitalization Among Patients With Newly Prescribed Antihypertensive Medications Epidemiology/Population
This study evaluated the effect of antihypertensive medication adherence on specific cardiovascular disease mortality (ischemic heart disease [IHD], cerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction). Our study used data from a 3% sample cohort that was randomly extracted from enrollees of Korean National Health Insurance. Study subjects were aged ≥20 years, were diagnosed with hypertension, and started newly prescribed antihypertensive medication in 2003 to 2004. Adherence to antihypertensive medication was estimated as the cumulative medication adherence. Subjects were divided into good (cumulative medication adherence, &g...

Use of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Risk of Chronic Kidney Disease in Subjects With Hypertension: Nationwide Longitudinal Cohort Study Kidney
Limited studies have examined the effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use on the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially in subjects with hypertension. Using National Health Insurance claims data in Taiwan, we conducted a propensity score–matched cohort study to investigate the relationship between NSAID use and CKD in subjects with hypertension. A total of 31976 subjects were included in this study: subjects not taking any NSAIDs in 2007 (n=10782); subjects taking NSAIDs for 1 to 89 days in 2007 (n=10605); and subjects taking NSAIDs for ≥90 days in 2007 (n=10589). We performed multivar...
