| Popis: | Abstract: Introduction: In management of hypertension patient adherence is one of the most important factors. In hypertension the cardiovascular risk reduction can be reached only by prolonged and effective pharmacotherapy. Aim: To evaluate the persistence of one-year treatment of free and fixed-dose combination of perindopril/amlodipine in hypertension. Method: Information from the National Health Insurance of Hungary prescriptions database on pharmacy claims between October 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013 was analysed. Authors identified patients who filled prescriptions for free and fixed-dose combination of perindopril/amlodipine, prescribed for the first time for hypertension. Patients have not received antihypertensive therapy with similar active substances during the one year before. Apparatus of survival analysis was used, where “survival” was the time to abandon the medication. As it was available to month precision, discrete time survival analysis was applied. Results: 109,248 patients met the inclusion criteria. Combination antihypertensive therapy with perindopril/amlodipine was started with a free or a fixed-dose combination of these agents in 19,365 and 89,883 patients, respectively. One year persistence rate in patients taking perindopril/amlodipine as a free combination was 27.15%, whereas it was 46.89% in those on the fixed-dose combination. Mean duration of persistence was 177.6 days in patients on the perindopril/amlodipine free, whereas 245.7 days on fixed-dose combination. Actual rate of discontinuation was approximately twice higher with the treatment of free, compared with the use of the fixed-dose combination (hazard ratio =1.94 [95% CI: 1.91–1.98], p |
