<![CDATA[Hypertension is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing global prevalence and is one of the leading causes of serious complications. Indonesia is among the countries with a high prevalence of hypertension, necessitating an understanding of the factors influencing patient treatment duration to enhance the effectiveness of healthcare services. This study aims to analyze differences in the survival rates of hypertensive patients at Kefamenanu Hospital based on gender. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate patient survival rates, while Cox Proportional Hazards regression was used to evaluate the influence of gender on survival time. The Kaplan-Meier analysis results showed that female patients had a higher probability of survival than male patients during hospitalization. However, the Cox Proportional Hazards regression analysis indicated that this difference was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that while there are differences in survival patterns, gender is not the primary determinant of the duration of care for hypertensive patients. The results of this study are expected to provide input for hospitals in designing more effective care strategies that focus on other factors that may influence patient survival time.]]>
