Abstract
In Spain, 33% of adults aged 30 to 79 years (10 million) were hypertensive in 2019. Among them, 68% were diagnosed, 57% received drug therapy, and effective therapeutic coverage (control) reached 33%. Both diagnosis and control show geographical and social disparities. Approximately 46 000 cardiovascular deaths per year are attributable to hypertension. In recent decades, the control of hypertension has increased, due to improvements in lifestyle measures and increased use of polytherapy, coinciding with a reduction in stroke mortality. There are several modifiable determinants of the lack of hypertension control: a) white-coat phenomenon affects 22% to 33% of treated individuals, partly due to the limited availability of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) (49%) and self-measured BP (SMBP) (78%); b) inadequate patient adherence to medication and healthy lifestyles (weight loss, the most effective measure, is the least used, ≈40%); and c) insufficient use of polytherapy (≈55%). The remaining challenges include: a) technological aspects, such as measuring BP with more accurate techniques (ABPM, SMBP) and using cardiovascular-risk estimation tools (eg, SCORE); b) clinical challenges, such as reducing therapeutic inertia (≈59%), involving patients in their own management (medication adherence, ≈62%) and effectively implementing clinical guidelines); and c) public health challenges, such as reducing the burden of obesity (≈24%), monitoring progress with updated surveys, and setting national BP control targets.

Improvement of medication adherence for desmopressin by adjusting the prescription dosage in male patients with overactive bladder: A claims database analysis. Neurourol Urodyn 2024. [PMID: 38979828 DOI: 10.1002/nau.25541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Desmopressin is widely used for nocturia in patients with nocturnal polyuria. We investigated the continuation rate and adherence for desmopressin in patients with overactive bladder and nocturia using a claims database and evaluated factors that improved adherence. METHODS Patients with nocturia in a Japanese claims database who started desmopressin between September 2019 and July 2021 were evaluated. Drug persistence was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method for initial prescription of desmopressin. The proportion of days covered (PDC) was also evaluated among patients with prescription persistence. Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression analysis to identify factors predicting adherence to desmopressin. RESULTS The study included 72,888 patients entered into Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC) database between September 2019 and July 2021. For the 236 patients prescribed desmopressin formulations, mean prescription duration was 114 days. Among the total cases, 90 (38.1%) cases were prescribed only once, mean PDC was 0.60, and the number of high-adherence patients (PDC ≥ 0.80) was 108 (45.8%). Desmopressin prescription doses were fixed in 216 patients and adjusted in 20 patients. Multivariate analysis identified prescription dose adjustment for desmopressin as significantly associated with high PDC. CONCLUSION Desmopressin showed a 38% dropout rate after the first dose. However, high medication continuation and high medication adherence rates (PDC) could be maintained with prescription adjustments. Careful patient monitoring and appropriate adjustment of the desmopressin dosage appear to be important factors in improving nocturia.

Abstract
Different lifestyle changes have been employed to improve clinical hypertension. However, there is scarce evidence on the blood pressure responsiveness to resistance training (RT) in hypertensive older adults. Consequently, little is known about some participants clinically reducing blood pressure and others not. Thus, we investigate the effects and responsiveness of RT on blood pressure in hypertensive older adults. We secondarily evaluated the biochemical risk factors for cardiovascular disease and functional performance. Older participants with hypertension were randomly assigned into RT (n = 27) and control group (n = 25). Blood pressure, functional performance (timed up and go, handgrip strength, biceps curl and sit-to-stand), fasting glucose, and lipid profiles were evaluated preintervention and postintervention. The statistic was performed in a single-blind manner, the statistician did not know who was the control and RT. RT was effective in reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) (pre 135.7 ± 14.7; post 124.7 ± 11.0; P < 0.001) and the responses to RT stimuli varied noticeably between hypertensive older adults after 12 weeks. For example, 13 and 1 responders displayed a minimal clinical important difference for SBP attenuation (10.9 mmHg) in the RT and control groups, respectively. RT improved the functional performance of older people with hypertension, while no differences were found in biochemical parameters (triglycerides, HDL, LDL, fasting glucose) after 12 weeks. In conclusion, responses to RT stimuli varied noticeably between hypertensive individuals and RT was effective in reducing SBP.
