Abstract
Noncompliance is a major problem in antihypertensive treatment. Up to 50% of patients are noncompliant after 1 year and 85% after 5 years. Current approaches for predicting compliance are based on patient demographics, medication characteristics and clinical factors, health beliefs and the quality of patient-provider communication. All of these factors together predict compliance only less than half the time, indicating that over half of the patients in disease management programmes may not buy-in to their treatment.
