Choice of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors versus Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers among Hypertensive Adults: Nationally Representative Estimates, 1997-2004 |
Description: |
|
We use nationally representative data from the 1997-2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Our sample is comprised of adults (age 35+) who reported
treatment for hypertension and used a RAAS- modifier. We begin by estimating the total number of persons who purchased an ACEI or an ARB during the year for each year
from 1997-2004. Then, we combine data for the years 2002-04 to estimate a multivariate logistic model to identify socioeconomic and clinical factors associated with an
increased, or decreased, probability of ARB use. |
