A comparison of post‐stroke hypertension medication use between US Stroke Belt and Non‐Stroke Belt residents

Although hypertension is a contributing factor to higher stroke occurrence in the Stroke Belt, little is known about post‐stroke hypertension medication use in Stroke Belt residents. Through the use of national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys from 2015, 2017, and 2019; we compared...

description Although hypertension is a contributing factor to higher stroke occurrence in the Stroke Belt, little is known about post‐stroke hypertension medication use in Stroke Belt residents. Through the use of national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys from 2015, 2017, and 2019; we compared unadjusted and adjusted estimates of post‐stroke hypertension medication use by Stroke Belt residence status. Similar levels of post‐stroke hypertension medication use were observed between Stroke Belt residents (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.89, 1.33) and non‐Stroke Belt residents. After adjustment, Stroke Belt residents had 1.14 times the odds of post‐stroke hypertension medication use (95% CI: 0.92, 1.41) compared to non‐Stroke Belt residents. Findings from this study suggest that there is little difference between post‐stroke hypertension medication use between Stroke Belt and non‐Stroke Belt residents. However, further work is needed to assess whether use of other non‐medicinal methods of post‐stroke hypertension control differs by Stroke Belt residence status.
