Key result
Nurse-led general practice interventions reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure within six months.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the impact of general practice nurse-led interventions on blood pressure control and cardiovascular disease risk factor reduction in patients with hypertension.
Do general practice nurse-led interventions improve blood pressure control and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with hypertension?
Meta-Analysis (n=4,454)
Do general practice nurse-led interventions improve blood pressure control and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with hypertension?
Nurse-led interventions in general practice demonstrate significant potential to improve blood pressure and support cardiovascular disease risk factor reduction.

Supports nurse-led hypertension care in general practice; extends meta-analytic evidence to short-term BP outcomes.
Stephen et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in hypertension (n=4,454). Nurse-led interventions was evaluated on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Nurse-led interventions in general practice significantly reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in trials with 6 months or less follow-up.
