Adherence to medication according to countries.
Squares represent OR and lines, 95% confidence interval (CI). ORs derived from logistic regression analysis adjusted on age, patient wealth index, complications, use of traditional medicine and antihypertensive drugs with a random effect on country to account for intra and inter-country variability.
