Key result
Patients with hypertension without other cardiovascular risk factors had significantly higher odds of attaining target blood pressure compared to those with additional risk factors (OR 1.41).
Why the study?
Does the presence of additional cardiovascular risk factors reduce blood pressure goal attainment in adult hypertensive patients treated in real-world clinical practice?

Additional risk factors may reduce BP target attainment; leaves open whether tailored strategies improve control in multimorbid hypertension.

Does the presence of additional cardiovascular risk factors reduce blood pressure goal attainment in adult hypertensive patients treated in real-world clinical practice?
Effect estimate: OR 1.41 (95% CI 1.35-1.48)

In real-world primary care in France and Italy, the vast majority of treated hypertensive patients have additional CVD risk factors, which significantly reduces their likelihood of achieving target blood pressure goals compared to those without additional risk factors.
Wu et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Primary hypertension (n=288,153). Antihypertensive treatment in patients without other CVD risk factors vs. Antihypertensive treatment in patients with other CVD risk factors was evaluated on Target blood pressure attainment (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.35-1.48, p=<0.001). Patients with hypertension without other cardiovascular risk factors had significantly higher odds of attaining target blood pressure compared to those with additional risk factors (OR 1.41).
