Popis: Objective: 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. Research design and methods: 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. Results: 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
