Min et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Systemic hypertension (n=310). Follow-up visits in an outpatient systemic hypertension program vs. No follow-up visit or fewer follow-up visits was evaluated on Risk of hypertension (OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.31-0.92). Attending follow-up visits in an outpatient systemic hypertension program significantly reduced the risk of hypertension (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.31-0.92).
