Why the study?
Brazilian guidelines recommend self-measurement of blood pressure to improve systemic arterial hypertension control, but consensus is lacking regarding its efficiency.
Does non-targeted self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) improve control of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in hypertensive users in public and private health systems in Brazil?
Does non-targeted self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) improve control of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in hypertensive users in public and private health systems in Brazil?
Non-targeted SMBP was associated with uncontrolled hypertension; leaves open whether structured programs improve control in observational data.
