MSR3 A Review of Predictive Modelling in Hypertension Based on Using Risk Factors to Predict Cardiovascular Consequences: A Targeted Literature Review (TLR)

Abstract

Hypertension is a chronic condition that if left unmanaged, will result in significant clinical, humanistic, social, and economic burdens for patients. These outcomes are closely associated with various socio-demographic variables, risk factors, comorbidities, and disease management/intervention strategies. Predicting these outcomes via predictive modelling can provide a critical support for hypertension management and downstream event prevention but requires a deep understanding of the progression pathway as well as the association of risk factors with outcomes. A targeted literature review (TLR) was thus conducted to study potential predictive variables and outcomes of interests as well as existing models to support the development of such a model based on patient characteristics.
