Antihypertensive drug-related problems in Vietnamese ambulatory care.

ABSTRACT: Evidence of antihypertensive drug-related problems (aDRP) is limited in Asian ambulatory care. To better detect aDRP without causing alert fatigue, we investigated whether adding more antihypertensive agents was associated with increasing aDRP risk and factors associated with physician acceptance of aDRP correction. We conducted a cross-sectional study targeting ambulatory prescriptions of Vietnamese patients with hypertension who either received standard therapy (using two or fewer medications, SdT) or standard plus add-on therapy (using more than two medications, SdT + add-on). Primary and secondary outcomes were number of aDRP and correction ratio of aDRP. We used multivariable Poisson regression to estimate the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI). We analyzed
