TABLE 3.

Association between adherence to antihypertensive medication within 1 year after diagnosis and CCV death in patients who didn't have or had CCV disease

Hypertensive patients	Adherence within 1 year after diagnosis
	CR ≥ 70		CR ≥ 80		CR ≥ 90
	HR (95% CI)	p‐value	HR (95% CI)	p‐value	HR(95% CI)	p‐value
without CCV disease	0.56 (0.35‐0.89)	.014	0.51 (0.32‐0.83)	.007	0.51 (0.30‐0.88)	.015
with CCV disease	0.79 (0.60‐1.05)	.100	0.78 (0.58‐1.04)	.088	0.56 (0.39‐0.79)	<.0001

Each of HR of CR ≥70, CR ≥80, and CR ≥90 was calculated based on the mortality of the CR < 70, CR < 80, and CR < 90 group as a reference.

Abbreviations: CR, compliance ratio; HR, hazard ratio; CCV, cardio‐cerebrovascular.
