title: [Factors which affect patient cooperation in the therapy of hypertension].
abstract: The socio-demographic factors (sex, age, social status and professional qualification), side effects of antihypertensive drugs and the therapeutic effects were compared with patient compliance in a group of 387 hypertensive patients. The results showed that the sociodemographic factors and presence of side effects had no significant influence upon patient compliance. Unlike these factors, therapeutic effects had a significant impact upon patient compliance.
