Key result
Stepped Care for hypertension significantly reduced five-year stroke incidence compared to community-treated Referred Care (1.9 vs 2.9 per 100 persons).
Why the study?

Does Stepped Care reduce cerebrovascular disease morbidity and mortality in persons with high blood pressure compared to community-treated Referred Care?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.9% vs 2.9%
A Stepped Care approach to hypertension management significantly reduces five-year stroke incidence and cerebrovascular mortality compared to standard community care, bringing mortality rates closer to those of the general population.
