Key result
Integrated hypertension care linked to ~40% lower CVD mortality vs usual care in rural patients.
Why the study?
It was unknown whether an integrated management model led by public healthcare providers is effective in reducing CVD-specific and all-cause mortality in low-income rural populations with hypertension.
Does an integrated management model led by public healthcare providers reduce CVD-specific and all-cause mortality in low-income rural populations with hypertension?

Does an integrated management model led by public healthcare providers reduce CVD-specific and all-cause mortality in low-income rural populations with hypertension?
An integrated management model led by public healthcare providers significantly reduces cardiovascular and all-cause mortality among rural patients with hypertension.

Supports integrated rural hypertension care; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
A study was conducted to investigate whether an integrated management (IM) model led by public healthcare providers is effective in reducing cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific and all-cause mortality rates in low-income rural populations with hypertension. The study recruited 14,234 patients with hypertension aged 18 years or older and allocated them to either an IM group or a usual care (UC) group. During a median follow-up of 48.0 months, the incidences of CVD-specific and all-cause deaths were lower in the IM group than in the UC group. The hazard ratios for CVD-specific mortality and all-cause mortality among patients in the IM group were 0.60 and 0.62, respectively. The results showed that the IM model led by public health providers resulted in clinically significant reductions in CVD-specific and all-cause mortality rates in low-income rural populations with hypertension.

Yu et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=14,234). Integrated management (IM) model led by public healthcare providers vs. Usual care was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific mortality (HR 0.60, 95% CI 0.49, 0.73, p=<0.0001). An integrated management model led by public healthcare providers reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease-specific mortality by 40% compared to usual care in rural patients with hypertension.
