Treatment Patterns of Patients With Pulmonary Hypertension: A Descriptive Study in Colombia.

Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a chronic disease characterized by a progressive rise in pulmonary artery blood pressure. The objective was to describe the treatment patterns among ambulatory patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in a real-world setting.

Methods: This is a longitudinal cohort follow-up study characterizing the treatment patterns of patients diagnosed with PAH or CTEPH, with secondary data from a population-based drug-dispensing database between 2022 and 2023, which includes sociodemographic, diagnosis, prescribing specialty, and treatment (drugs, persistence of use, and concomitant medications).
