“…Forty seven (92%) studies [2,8,9,27-36,38-47,49,51-69,71-73,75] evaluated cardiovascular medication utilization with 20 (39%) studies specifically evaluating utilization of ASA or other anti-thrombotic agents, 34 (67%) evaluating antihypertensive use, and 11 (22%) evaluating the use of lipid lowering agents (Additional file 1: Table S3). Substantial variation in the use of cardiovascular medications was observed between studies and between rural versus urban sub-populations within each study.…”

“…Of the 47 studies that evaluated cardiovascular medication use, sufficient data for pooling were available in 34 studies (39 separate cohorts as two cohorts were included in three studies [43,66,72] and three cohorts in one study [71]). In the unadjusted pooled analyses (23 studies) [27-29,35,36,38,39,41,43,44,46,47,51,53,55-58,64,68,71,73,75], patients in rural areas with cardiovascular disease or diabetes were less likely to receive evidence-based cardiovascular drug therapy compared to urban residents (pooled unadjusted OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79, 0.98, p = 0.02; I 2  = 97%) (Table 1). However, among the 21 studies that adjusted for potential confounders [9,27,29,34,38,41-45,47,52,55,56,58,60-62,66,69,72] pooled analysis indicated no statistically significant difference between rural and urban patients in the use of cardiovascular medications (pooled adjusted OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.13, p = 0.77, I 2  = 97%) (Figure 2).…”

“…Esta evolução confirma-se com os dados obtidos por outros autores em 2011 38 (47,7%) e 2014 39 (55,7%), e deve-se a uma maior efetividade do tratamento anti-hipertensivo ao nível dos CSP.…”

“…Alguns estudos sugerem que o sexo é um fator de confundimento, 20 sendo a toma de mais medicação a responsável por a HTA estar mais controlada. 16,20 Contudo, os nossos dados não revelaram diferenças significativas no número médio de medicamentos tomados entre controlo e não controlo da HTA, tal como no estudo de Oliveira-Martins et al, 38 mas sim com os anos de duração da doença.…”
