Abstract
<p class="first" id="d1720473e702">Evidence from nationally representative studies
in low-income and middle-income countries
(LMICs) on where in the hypertension care continuum patients are lost to care is sparse.
This information, however, is essential for effective targeting of interventions by
health services and monitoring progress in improving hypertension care. We aimed to
determine the cascade of hypertension care in 44 LMICs-and its variation between countries
and population groups-by dividing the progression in the care process, from need of
care to successful treatment, into discrete stages and measuring the losses at each
stage.
