Reasons for poor blood pressure control in Eastern Sub-Saharan Africa: looking into 4P's (primary care, professional, patient, and public health policy) for improving blood pressure control: a scoping review

Mende Mensa Sorato et al.

Summary: Hypertension control in Sub-Saharan Africa is the worst in the world. Reasons for poor control include lack of patient adherence, government commitment, screening programs, poverty, and malnutrition. Efforts are needed to improve awareness, access to medicines, and individualized treatment.

Variation in hypertension clinical practice guidelines: a global comparison

Richu Philip et al.

Summary: The study found that clinical practice guidelines for hypertension were generally consistent in defining, staging, and recommending target blood pressure, but showed extensive variation in treatment recommendations, especially for second-line therapy. Low-income countries tended to recommend cheaper drugs, offered less choice to clinicians in medications, and initiated dual therapy at later stages compared to high-income countries. Future research could explore underlying drivers of this variation to improve outcomes for hypertensive patients across different clinical contexts.
