Does a multicomponent intervention reduce systolic blood pressure in adults with uncontrolled hypertension?
This protocol outlines a cluster randomized trial to evaluate a multicomponent intervention for improving blood pressure control in primary care clinics in Singapore.
Jafar et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Uncontrolled hypertension (n=1,000). Multicomponent intervention (algorithm-driven single-pill combination, motivational conversation, telephone follow-ups, medication discounts) vs. Usual care was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure from baseline to 24 months. The SingHypertension trial is a planned cluster randomized study designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention on systolic blood pressure in 1,000 adults with uncontrolled hypertension.
