The results showed that patients who received treatment with the suitable indication, right drug, correct dose and proper patient criteria were Ninety-two patients . %). The relationship between the accuracy of drug selection and therapeutic outcomes in outpatient hypertension patients at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital shows a p-value of 0. <0. It Meaning that there is a significant relationship in the accuracy of antihypertensive drug selection with therapeutic outcomes in the form of achieving blood pressure targets based on JNC Vi in 2014. Keywords: accuracy, drug selection, dan therapeutic outcome. INTRODUCTION Hypertension is one of the degenerative diseases that must be watched out for. Hypertension is a condition of blood pressure that exceeds normal limits, namely systolic Ou 140 mmHg and diastolic Ou 90 mmHg (Apriyani & Herawati, 2. High blood pressure that is not immediately resolved will cause risk factors for various types of degenerative diseases. besides that, if left for an extended period, it will be complications to other organs such as the heart, eyes, kidneys, brain, and large blood vessels (Tuloli et al. , 2. According to the (NHLBI, 2. , one in every three patients has hypertension. Hypertension increases the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, acute renal Handling hypertension can be done in two categories, non-pharmacological pharmacological efforts. Pharmacological therapy efforts have nothing to do but use antihypertensive drugs (Reyaan et al. , 2. The rational drug use module explains that rational drug use ensures that patients receive treatment according to their clinical needs, in the recommended dose, at a certain period, safely . n terms of side effects, contraindications or resistanc. , with good quality and at an affordable cost (Kemenkes, 2. , t. The way of review can be seen in terms of the correct diagnosis, the proper indication, the right patient, the right drug, the right dose, the correct information, the right price, the suitable method and duration of administration, and the alert of side effects (Tias, 2. Inappropriate drug use significantly harms patients in terms of clinical outcomes and adverse drug Therapeutic outcomes result from Media Farmasi Indonesia Vol 19 No 2 | DOI 10. 53359/mfi. interventions provided by the health system, facilities, and medical personnel. Blood pressure reduction can be seen as one of the hypertension therapy's success (Tias, 2. The aim of this research is to suitability of drug selection and therapeutic outcomes in hypertension outpatients at Dr. RSUP. Moewardi Surakarta" is to analyze and evaluate how much influence the suitability of drug selection has on the therapeutic results obtained by hypertensive patients undergoing treatment at the hospital METHODS This type of research is observational descriptive analytic design. The research began with researchers taking data from medical records, including medical record numbers, gender, age, previous medical history, and drug therapy. The second step was univariate data analysis using the SPSS version 26 program with descriptive statistical tests. The population was all patients diagnosed with hypertension at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital, as many as 3082 patients with 100 samples using the Slovin formula. Inclusion criteria are patients who have undergone outpatient treatment at least 1-time getting drug therapy, age group Ou18 years, recorded blood pressure in medical record sheets, antihypertensive therapy, and exclusion criteria are medical record sheets that do not contain hypertension disease management, pregnant and lactating women, deceased hypertension patients. Rationality in this study was determined through several aspects, including the indication of the drug according appropriateness of drug selection based on therapeutic guidelines, identification of inaccuracies in drug selection, and the accuracy of the dose given. This study aims to evaluate whether the selected drugs meet all of these criteria and how this impacts patient This chi-square analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the accuracy of drug selection and hypertension patients at Dr Moewardi Surakarta Hospital. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The results showed a population of kuoutpatient hypertension patients at Dr Moewardi Surakarta Hospital, with as many as 3082 respondents, with 100 respondents who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria that the researchers had determined. Univariate Analysis Univariate analysis aims to describe or explain the characteristics of the variables Patients' medical records were then processed based on medical record number, gender, age, weight, blood pressure, drugs given, and diagnosis.

According to (Chiburdanidze, 2. , the lifetime risk of hypertension is 80-90% in women and 81-83% in men. The development of hypertension in women is faster than in men. Blood pressure tends to increase in old age and the risk of developing hypertension increases after women experience menopause (Asmarianti, 2. The age of most respondents in outpatient hypertension patients at Dr Moewardi Surakarta Hospital is the age range of 68 -77 years, as many as 31 respondents . %). Hypertension is one of the degenerative With age, blood pressure will also increase due to physiological changes. (Febri Nilansari et al. , 2. Due to the ageing process, physiological function decreases, which causes many non-communicable 2. diseases to arise in geriatrics. Non- communicable diseases that attack geriatrics are the most common, including hypertension, stroke, arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Ismaya & Emelia, 2. The most common type of comorbidities suffered by outpatient hypertensive patients at Dr. Moewardi Surakarta Hospital is diabetes mellitus, with as many as 85 cases . 80%), followed by heart disease as many as 39 cases . 68%). Hypertensive disease can be one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so complications will arise in hypertensive patients, such as kidney disease. DM, heart disease, and others (Ismaya & Emelia, 2. Characteristics of respondents based on the use of antihypertensive drugs Media Farmasi Indonesia Vol 19 No 2 | DOI 10. 53359/mfi. Table 2.

This result differs from previous research conducted by (Sumawa et al. , 2. on evaluating rationality based on appropriate patients in the hospitalization of Prof. Kandou Manado Hospital with a total sample of 39 medical records and using JNC VII standards, stating that the number of proper patients was 100%. One of the inaccuracies in this study was caused by drugs given that were not suitable for the patient's condition, namely the administration of Concor . to hypertensive patients with comorbidities of DM and dyslipidemia. The treatment in the prescription was considered inappropriate because bisoprolol is not recommended in the JNC Vi literature for hypertension with comorbidities of DM and dyslipidemia.

This study has limitations, such as a small sample size that reduces the generalizability of the results. Data collection that relies on patient reports may cause bias, and variations in treatment protocols may result in This study also did not consider other factors, such as lifestyle and For future research, it is recommended to include a larger and more diverse sample, use a longitudinal design to understand causeand-effect relationships and apply mixed methods to gain deeper insights. In addition, exploration of additional variables and intervention studies should be conducted to improve medication selection and adherence. With these limitations and implications in mind, future studies can better understand the relationship between medication selection and therapeutic outcomes in hypertensive patients.
