The high percentage of uncontrolled hypertension is a main challenge in Eastern Mediterranean region. In order to improve this situation, controlling or treating factors related to poor Blood pressure (BP) control is needed. This survey was conducted to identify the predictors of BP control in hypertensive Jordanian patients followed up for 6 months.The study was a national, multicentre, observational prospective cohort survey conducted in 401 newly diagnosed or uncontrolled essential hypertension patients.Diabetes was identified as a predictor of poor blood pressure control at 1 month (OR = 0.07, CI = 0.03 to 0.16) and at 6 months (OR = 0.09, CI = 0.03 to 0.27) while the early control of blood pressure at 1 month was associated with a better control at 6 months (OR= 13.88, CI = 5.21 to 36.98). In the diabetic subgroup, old age was associated with poor control (OR = 0.95, CI= 0.92 to 0.99) while early control of blood pressure at 1 month (OR = 55.71, CI= 9.56 to 318.11) and use of combination antihypertensive therapy at baseline and 1 month (OR = 5.01, CI= 1.09 to 24.60) respectively were associated with good blood pressure control at 6 months.The percentage of patients with controlled BP after 6 months of treatment (63.49%) was significantly higher (p<0.001) than the percentage of those with controlled BP after 1 month (40.94%). We conclude that early control of blood pressure was found to be a significant predictor of good blood pressure control, while diabetes was found to be a predictor of poor blood pressure control.
