Does Stepped Care improve blood pressure control and reduce all-cause mortality compared to Referred Care in hypertensive patients?
Effect estimate: 15% to 28% lower
A Stepped Care approach to hypertension management significantly improves blood pressure control and reduces five-year all-cause mortality compared to standard Referred Care across most demographic subgroups.
A 1979 study conducted an RCT in Hypertension. Stepped Care (SC) vs. Referred Care (RC) was evaluated on Five-year all-cause death rates (15% to 28% lower). Stepped Care for hypertension substantially lowered five-year all-cause death rates by 15% to 28% compared to Referred Care for most race-sex and age subgroups.
