- Hypertension is a major global health issue, marked by high rates of medication nonadherence, which traditional surveys struggle to accurately assess due to various biases.
- The study leveraged patient reviews from WebMD to analyze reasons for changes in angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) using natural language processing.
- Out of 343,459 reviews, the analysis revealed that a significant majority of users reported adverse events—primarily musculoskeletal issues for ARBs and respiratory problems for ACEIs—as the main reasons for adjusting their medications.
