Abstract:

Objective: To assess the prevalence of adherence to antihypertensive treatment in the Brazilian population based on peer-reviewed studies that used instruments designed and/or adapted exclusively for this purpose. Methods: This is a systematic review with meta-analysis based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations. The search was carried out in the databases BDENF, SciELO, Cuiden, PsycINFOe, CINAHL, Embase, LILACS, MEDLINE, and academic search engines AgeLine, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021292689). Random effects models were used in meta-analyses of prevalences obtained from individual studies. Results: 104 studies were included in the meta-analysis on antihypertensive treatment in the Brazilian population, totaling 38,299 patients. The most used instrument was the 4-item Morisky-Green Test (49.5%). The prevalence of adherence estimated by the meta-analysis was 44.4% (95%CI: 39.12%-49.94%, I2=91.17, p<0.001), showing high heterogeneity. Conclusion: The prevalence of adherence to antihypertensive treatment found in national studies was unsatisfactory, demonstrating that this issue remains a significant challenge.
