Abstract
The present study aimed to describe the blood pressure (BP) control rate and 10-years arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimation among community hypertensive patients. A total of 196,803 subjects were enrolled. The control rates calculated as the intensive (SBP < 130 mmHg and DBP < 80 mmHg) and standard (SBP < 140 mmHg and DBP < 90 mmHg) threshold. Multivariable logistic analysis was employed to assess the associations between cardiovascular factors and BP control. Sensitivity, specificity and Youden’s index were used to identify the ability of high risk of ASCVD estimation by different thresholds. The control rate was 16.34% and 50.25% by the intensive and standard threshold, respectively. Besides regular medication, the risk factors for BP control included older age, male, unhealthy lifestyle, obesity, dyslipidemia and abnormal FPG. 25.08% of subjects had high risk of 10-years ASCVD estimation. The sensitivity, specificity and Youden’s index of intensive threshold was 84.37%, 16.15% and 0.51%, and were significantly different from 50.55%, 50.42% and 0.98% of the standard threshold, respectively. Half of community hypertensive patients did not control BP, and nearly a quarter have high risk of 10-years ASCVD risk estimation. The intensive threshold resulted in a one-third reduction in the control rate compared to the standard threshold. No matter which threshold was used, a single BP control status seemed not a suitable indicator for identification of high risk of 10-years ASCVD risk estimation.
Highlights
The present study aimed to describe the blood pressure (BP) control rate and 10-years arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimation among community hypertensive patients
A Chinese research suggested that drug treatment was not cost-effective compared with non-drug treatment for high normal BP aged ≥ 65 years without cardiovascular disease in C hina[12]
The present study aims to describe the distribution of control rates and cardiovascular factors by different thresholds among hypertensive patients managed by general practitioners (GPs), and to display their 10-year ASCVD risk estimation
Summary
The present study aimed to describe the blood pressure (BP) control rate and 10-years arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimation among community hypertensive patients. As one of the content, the general practitioners (GPs) in the primary health care system (named community health care center, CHC) provided health management for hypertensive patients, includes regular follow-up and intervention, medication service, physical examination, etc.[3] Since the blood pressure (BP) control rate of general population had achieved certain results according to a comparison of cross-section surveys, rising from 6.1% in 2002, 13.8% in 2012 to 16.8% in 2 0151. The present study aims to describe the distribution of control rates and cardiovascular factors by different thresholds among hypertensive patients managed by GPs, and to display their 10-year ASCVD risk estimation. Different from the previous observation among general population, this data was collected from a real-world and the subjects were hypertensive patients who attended the governmental EPHS project
