Key result
Home-based BP monitoring reduces systolic BP by ~15 mmHg among hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria.
Why the study?
Home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes have gained traction in urban Nigeria as a means to improve hypertension management among hypertensive patients.
Do home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes improve user satisfaction and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria?
Systematic Review
Do home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes improve user satisfaction and systolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria?
Home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes are associated with high user satisfaction and significant reductions in systolic blood pressure among hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria.
Supports implementation in urban Nigerian clinics; extends evidence to hypertensive patients in sub-Saharan Africa.
Home-based blood pressure monitoring programmes have gained traction in urban Nigeria as a means to improve hypertension management among hypertensive patients. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using databases such as PubMed and Web of Science, focusing on studies published between and . Studies were selected based on relevance to home-based blood pressure monitoring in urban Nigeria. Users reported satisfaction levels ranging from 78% to 92%, with significant improvement noted in systolic blood pressure readings over a six-month period (mean reduction of 15 mmHg). The review underscores the efficacy of home-based monitoring programmes in enhancing user satisfaction and health outcomes, particularly among hypertensive patients. Further research should explore the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of these programmes. Hypertension, Home-Based Monitoring, User Satisfaction, Health Improvement Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.

Alhassan et al. (2007) conducted a systematic review in Hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria. Home-based blood pressure monitoring programs was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure (mean reduction of 15 mmHg). Home-based blood pressure monitoring programs reduced systolic blood pressure by a mean of 15 mmHg over six months among hypertensive patients in urban Nigeria.
