It has, however, been difficult to assess quality of life reliably in patients with hypertension; a review of the literature from 1990 to 2000, focusing on health-related quality of life in patients with hypertension, showed that the results of studies were frequently inconsistent, possibly owing to the wide variety of domains studied, the variety of instruments used to assess quality of life, and a number of methodological weaknesses, including small sample sizes and failure to account for missing data (17R). It is important to note that although antihypertensive drug therapy can impair quality of life because of ADRs, hypertension itself may not be completely without effect.
