Determinant factors of the longitudinal pulse pressure among hypertensive patients treated at Assosa general hospital, Western Ethiopia

The profile plot showed that the patient's pulse pressure decreases slowly as follow-up time increases. Age, Residence, FHHTN, DM, CKD, Smoking status, and Stages of HTN were positively associated with pulse pressure, whereas Treatment type and follow-up time were negatively associated with pulse pressure. So, Healthcare providers should prioritize addressing the modifiable risk factors mentioned above to help mitigate the progression of blood pressure specifically pulse pressure in hypertensive patients.
