Adherence will be measured in both groups at baseline and months 3, 6, 9 and 12, through validated questionnaire and pill count. Also evaluated clinical outcome measures (blood pressure, hospitalizations and deaths). The analysis will be done by intention to treat comparing adherence measures and clinical outcome between groups (Student t test and chi-square test) and within groups over time (paired t test and McNemar). It will be accepted p value <0.05. |
