Key result
In adults presenting with hypertensive emergencies, overall short-term mortality at one month was 36.4%, with newly diagnosed hypertension significantly increasing the risk of death compared to known hypertension (OR 3.91).
Why the study?
This study was undertaken to assess short-term outcomes associated with hypertensive emergencies in a tertiary care center.

Hypertensive emergencies are associated with a high short-term mortality of 36.4% at one month, driven significantly by newly diagnosed hypertension and in-hospital hypotension.

High short-term mortality in hypertensive emergencies warrants close monitoring; observational associations leave open prospective validation of modifiable targets.
Lawrence et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Hypertensive emergencies (n=66). Newly diagnosed hypertension vs. Known hypertension was evaluated on Short-term mortality at one month (OR 3.91, 95% CI 1.00-15.16, p=0.049). In adults presenting with hypertensive emergencies, overall short-term mortality at one month was 36.4%, with newly diagnosed hypertension significantly increasing the risk of death compared to known hypertension (OR 3.91).
