Background.
Hypertension remains a cause of morbidity and mortality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
It has been featured in the top ten causes of OPD attendance, admissions, and deaths since 2012.
We investigated the sociodemographic characteristics and spatial distribution of inpatient hypertensives and factors associated with their admission outcomes.
Methods.
A 2014 line list of 1715 inpatient HPT cases aged ≥25 years was used for the cross-sectional analytic study.
Accounting for clustering, all analyses were performed using the “svy” command in Stata.
Frequencies, Chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis were used in the analysis.
Arc view Geographic Information System (ArcGIS) was used to map the density of cases by place of residence and reporting hospital.
Results.
Mean age of cases was 58 (S.D 0.0068).
Females constituted 67.6% of the cases.
Age, gender, and NHIS status were significantly associated with admission outcomes.
Cases were clustered in the regional capital and bordering districts.
However, low case densities were recorded in the latter.
Conclusion.
Increasing NHIS access can potentially impact positively on hypertension admission outcomes.
Health educational campaigns targeting men are recommended to address hypertension-related issues.
