Objective: %26lt;br%26gt;To assess non-compliance (NC) and therapeutic inertia (TI) after 6 months of follow-up in hypertensive patients with poorly controlled blood pressure and high cardiovascular risk. %26lt;br%26gt;Research design and methods: %26lt;br%26gt;Longitudinal, multicentre study; 3900 uncontrolled hypertensive patients were recruited from 585 primary healthcare centres. Tablets were counted during visits at baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months. A tablet count between 80-100% was considered as compliant. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to determine variables associated with NC and TI. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: %26lt;br%26gt;A total of 3636 patients completed, mean age was 64.8 (SD 10.8) years, 53.7% being male. After one month, 61.8% (60.2-63.4) had uncontrolled blood pressure, 39.5% (37.9-41.1) were NC and 52.3% (50.2-54.4) had TI. At the end of follow-up, uncontrolled blood pressure was 34.6% (33.1-36.1) (p%26lt;0.05), NC was 46.8% (45.2-48.4) (p%26lt;0.05) and TI was 34.2% (31.6-36.8) (p%26lt;0.05). The variable associated with NC was greatest number of antihypertensive treatments (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05-1.13, p%26lt;0.001), and variables associated with TI were least number of antihypertensive drugs (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84-0.98, p%26lt;0.001) and least number of diseases suffered (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.92-0.98, p=0.002). %26lt;br%26gt;Limitations: %26lt;br%26gt;Due to the complexity of measuring compliance, we have to assume measurement bias. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusions: %26lt;br%26gt;Among uncontrolled hypertensive patients, after completing 6 months follow-up, approximately one out of two patients were NC and one out of three physicians committed TI.
