Although this study used two different methods to compare patients' adherence at two time points, the comparison of the BP control by ABPM at both moments was standardized and showed worse BP control in parallel with decreased adherence. Although the loss of 13 (11.9%) of the 109 patients who concluded the ReHOT trial was small, it may have influenced the lack of significance found in the analysis of some variables such as education level, which showed a borderline significance.
