Implication

Ecological links between high-risk hypertension and spending/mortality are hypothesis-generating; leaves open causal pathways for targeted prevention.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Hypertensive patients with high and very high risk for cardiovascular diseases across 27 federative units of Brazil
O
Outcome
Correlation with socioeconomic and health indicators (Human Development Index, health care costs and services, average household income per capita, per capita municipal income, number of hospital admissions in SUS, number of medical consultations in the SUS and specific mortality due to diseases of the circulatory system)

High and very high cardiovascular risk in hypertensive populations correlates with increased public health expenditure, higher circulatory disease mortality, and lower life expectancy at the state level in Brazil.
