Bayesian longitudinal modeling of blood pressure measurements of hypertensive patients at Wachemo University Nigist Elleni Mohamed Memorial Teaching and Referral Hospital Hosanna, Southern Ethiopia.

Hypertension is characterized by the persistent elevation of blood pressure (BP) above the normal range or the use of antihypertensive medication. It represents a major global health issue and serves as a significant risk factor for conditions such as stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. This study aimed to model the longitudinal measurements of diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients using a Bayesian approach.
