  1. Based on generalized linear models that account for clustering of patients within commune and repeated measurement nested within patients. Small discrepancies from obtaining difference directly from Table 3 are attributable to missing data and numerical estimation algorithms
  2. aBased on guidelines from the 8th Joint National Commission for the Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults
  3. bBased on self-reported items from an adapted medication adherence scale for Vietnamese patients with hypertension
