Determinants of uncontrolled blood pressure among adult hypertensive patients on follow-up at Negelle and Adola General Hospital, Guji Zone, Southern Ethiopia: facility-based case control study

This study revealed that no adherence to medication, smoking, weight management, poor hypertension knowledge, traditional medicine use, and being overweight were determinants of uncontrolled blood pressure. Since these are modifiable and preventable factors, there is a need to implement interventions that will enhance self-care practices in this population to improve treatment outcomes.
