Impact of hypertension knowledge on adherence to antihypertensive therapy: a cross-sectional study in primary health care centers during the 2024 Sudan conflict
Higher hypertension knowledge was significantly associated with better adherence and improved blood pressure control. However, sustained control remains a challenge, as 41.6% of participants had uncontrolled hypertension at their last measurement. Addressing economic barriers and medication shortages through targeted interventions is essential for improving long-term hypertension management in conflict settings.
