Abstract

Background:The prevalence of high blood pressure (HBP) in Cote dIvoire was recently estimated at 38%. The present retrospective study, conducted at Korhogo Regional Hospital (KRH) between 2016 and 2021, aimed to analyze trends in hypertension cases increasing in Korhogo district and as well characterizing the associated factors such as time, age, sex, blood glucose and cholesterol level.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis on 2,375 hypertensive patients. Clinical, biological i.e. blood glucose and cholesterol level and anthropometric parameters i.e. sex, age were collected, structuredand analyzed in R programming environment. We developed own script in R programing environment aiming to accomplish multivariate statistical surveys as well as applying several parametric and non-parametric test.

Results: Findings revealed a significant yearly increase of high blood pressure cases,especially among individuals over 45 years of age (p < 0.05). In addition, results shown a strong positive correlation between hypertension patients frequency increasing and ageing as opposite to sex and cholesterol level parameters (p > 0.05). Of note, blood glucose level exhibited statistically significant correlation with ageing patients without a family history of hypertension, suggesting the importance of early screening in ageing adults and as well in monitoring metabolic factors i.e. blood glucose level, in monitoringhypertension.
