Background.
The aim of the current study was to investigate physicians’ perceptions and adherence to the European guidelines for the management of hypertension.
Methods.
This is a national, multicentre, prospective, observational study, conducted between November 2007 and June 2008, in Cyprus.
Consecutive hypertensive patients have been recruited by a random sample of physicians.
The physicians’ recommendations for every single patient have been recorded and compared with the 2007 ESH/ESC guidelines.
Results.
Of the total of 654 patients, 477 (72.9%) were correctly advised by their physician to receive antihypertensive treatment to control their blood pressure, while 396 (60.5%) correctly got advices to adopt only lifestyle changes.
The overall adherence of physicians to the European guidelines (overall agreement rate) was 70.4% (k=0.258, P<0.001).
Of the total of 68 physicians, 65 (95.6%) reported that they were aware of some guidelines.
There was no statistically significant effect of specific physicians’ characteristics on the overall adherence to guidelines, but there was in the percentage of patients achieving medication guidelines.
Conclusions.
The study demonstrated that although Cypriot physicians declared that they were aware of the clinical guidelines for the management of hypertension, more than one-fourth of high risk hypertensive patients remained untreated and 40% of low risk patients received inappropriate medication.
