Time to therapy discontinuation of antihypertensive monotherapy [16]. This depicts the proportion of study patients by antihypertensive medication class who remained persistent with index therapy (y axis) during the year subsequent to the index study claim (days subsequent to index date depicted on x axis). ARB patients were most likely to remain on therapy, closely followed by ACEi patients. Diuretic patients were least likely to remain on the index monotherapy regimen.
