What is the rate of compliance with JNC 7 guidelines and target BP goal achievement among patients with hypertension?
There is a significant gap between JNC 7 guideline recommendations and clinical practice in hypertension management, especially for high-risk patients with diabetes or CKD.
Jami et al. (2007) conducted an observational in Hypertension. JNC 7 guidelines was evaluated on Overall blood pressure goal achievement. Overall blood pressure goal achievement under JNC 7 guidelines was 45.6%, with lower rates among patients with diabetes (27.6%) and chronic kidney disease (21.1%).
