The systolic/diastolic BP reduction was significantly greater in the HBPM than in the UC group by 3.27/1.61 mmHg (95% CI: 2.40-4.15/1.14-2.07).

Why the study?

The meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the latest studies to determine whether home blood pressure measurement reduces blood pressure compared with usual care.

Does self-measurement of blood pressure at home reduce blood pressure levels in patients compared to usual care?

Population

21,053 participants across 65 randomized controlled trials (63 based on patients with hypertension)

Comparison

Home blood pressure measurement vs usual care

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Overview

Supports incorporating home BP monitoring into hypertension care; confirms benefit over usual care in Level 1 meta-analysis.

Structured PICO

Does self-measurement of blood pressure at home reduce blood pressure levels in patients compared to usual care?

P
Population
21,053 patients from 65 randomized controlled trials, predominantly patients with hypertension (63 of the 65 studies).
I
Intervention
Self-measurement of blood pressure at home (HBPM) using a cuff device, with or without co-interventions such as telemonitoring.
C
Comparator
Usual care (UC).
O
Outcome
Change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels at the end of the intervention.surrogate

Home blood pressure measurement, particularly when using upper-arm cuffs and combined with telemonitoring, significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to usual care.
