| Popis: | Background Around 10% patients with hypertension have resistant hypertension (RH). Older age, Black race, obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are the common risk factors for RH. The present study was done to find out the prevalence and factors associated with RH. Methods This cross-sectional study was done between December 2018 and February 2020. Adult patients registered with the hypertension clinic and on care for more than three months were included in the study. History was noted and blood pressure (BP) was measured using standard precautions. The patients were divided into two groups - resistant and non-resistant hypertension. Chi-square test was done to check the significance of the differences between the two groups. Binary logistic regression was done for the risk factors with a p-value < 0.2 in the Chi-square test. Results A total of 275 patients were included. The mean age was 56 ± 10 years and 61% were females. The mean duration of hypertension was 7 ± 5 years; 77% of patients were overweight or obese.
