Assessment of predictors and mitigation strategy for therapeutic inertia in the management of hypertension: a quality improvement project by Ananyan Sampath, Shreya Deshpande, Rashmi Verma, Rajnish Joshi

“…Introduction: Hypertension remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with prevalence exceeding 1.4 billion and rising, particularly in low–middle income countries (LMICs).1,2 Despite extensive guidelines, therapeutic inertia (TI) impedes optimal blood pressure (BP) control, contributing to poor outcomes.3 Hypertension prevalence in India is rising, but awareness, treatment and control lag due to patient factors, poor health awareness, clinical latency and physician prescribing behavior, leaving over 90% of patients with uncontrolled BP.4 Materials and methods: This facility-based cross-sectional study used a quality improvement approach to assess TI in hypertension management. …”
