Geldsetzer, P; Manne-Goehler, J; Marcus, ME; Ebert, C; Zhumadilov, Z; Wesseh, CS; Tsabedze, L; Supiyev, A; Sturua, L; Bahendeka, SK; Sibai, AMBackground Evidence from nationally representative studies in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) on where in the hypertension care continuum patients are lost to care is sparse. This information, however, is essential for effective targeting of interventions by health services and monitoring progress in improving hypertension care. We aimed to determine the cascade of hypertension care in 44 LMICs—a...
