Key result
Self-reported hypertension lacks quantitative accuracy results versus gold-standard methods in this truncated abstract.
Why the study?
Self-reported hypertension is useful for population prevalence estimates, but its accuracy requires evaluation against gold-standard diagnostic methods.
What is the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of self-reported arterial hypertension compared to gold-standard diagnostic methods in Brazil?
Meta-Analysis
What is the accuracy (sensitivity and specificity) of self-reported arterial hypertension compared to gold-standard diagnostic methods in Brazil?
This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to determine the diagnostic accuracy of self-reported hypertension in the Brazilian population.
Self-reported hypertension shows moderate accuracy for Brazilian surveillance; extends global meta-analyses with higher country-specific pooled values.
