Key result
Improved hypertension detection in Russia is linked to ~46% more registered patients and better follow-up.
Why the study?
Reducing circulatory disease morbidity and mortality called for improved healthcare efficiency to detect and control high blood pressure across Russia.
Does improved detection and control of arterial hypertension reduce mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in the Russian adult population?
Observational (n=17,100,000)
Yes
Does improved detection and control of arterial hypertension reduce mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in the Russian adult population?
Improved population-level detection and control of arterial hypertension is associated with reduced cardiovascular and total mortality in Russia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports national hypertension detection efforts; leaves open causal mortality effects and generalizability beyond Russia.
Evdakov et al. (2021) conducted an observational in Arterial hypertension (n=17,100,000). State program on medical examination and follow-up was evaluated on Number of registered patients with arterial hypertension and follow-up coverage. Improved detection and control of arterial hypertension in Russia from 2010 to 2019 increased registered patients by 46% (to 17.1 million) and follow-up coverage to 77.0%.
