Summary
This study used multivariate statistics to explore antihypertensive drug consumption patterns and their links to various factors. The findings offer insights into drug usage and influencing elements.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacoeconomics
- Biostatistics
- Health Services Research
Context:
- Antihypertensive drug consumption is a significant area of public health concern.
- Understanding factors influencing drug usage is crucial for effective healthcare management.
- Previous research has explored various aspects of antihypertensive drug use.
Purpose:
- To investigate the causal or functional relationships between antihypertensive drug consumption and various influencing factors.
- To apply multivariate statistical methods for exploratory data analysis.
- To classify and quantify the identified influencing factors.
Summary:
- Multivariate statistical methods, including principal component analysis, factor analysis, and cluster analysis, were employed.
- Consumption data of antihypertensive drugs were analyzed to identify relationships with different influencing factors.
- The study aimed to reflect these factors in a classified and quantified manner.
