The state of hypertension care in 44 low-income and middle-income countries: a cross-sectional study of nationally representative individual-level data from 1·1 million adults. The Lancet, 394(10199), 652–662. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(19)30955-9https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(19)30955-9http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/4509Our study provides important evidence for the design and targeting of health policies and service interventions for hypertension in LMICs. We show at what steps and for whom there are gaps in the hypertension care process in each of the 44 countries in our study. We also identified countries in each world region that perform better than expected from their economic development, which can direct policy makers to important policy lessons. Given the high disease burden caused by hypertension in LMICs, nationally representative hypertension care cascades, as constructed in this study, are an important measure of progress towards achieving universal health coverage.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United StatesArticle
