Key result
Home blood pressure monitoring in patients with CKD and hypertension was associated with higher self-reported compliance with BP medications (93.9% vs. 85.1%, p=0.03).

Absolute Event Rate: 93.9% vs 85.1%
p-value: p=0.03
Home blood pressure monitoring is commonly used among CKD patients and is associated with better adherence to antihypertensive medications and lifestyle modifications.
Ye et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic kidney disease and hypertension (n=285). Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) vs. No home blood pressure monitoring was evaluated on Self-reported compliance with BP medications (p=0.03). Home blood pressure monitoring in patients with CKD and hypertension was associated with higher self-reported compliance with BP medications (93.9% vs. 85.1%, p=0.03).
