Fixed-dose combination therapy with a simplified algorithm improves blood pressure control and provider satisfaction in community-based practices compared to standard stepped-care guidelines.
Brent M. Egan (2009) conducted an editorial in Uncomplicated, uncontrolled hypertension. Fixed-dose combination-based therapy and simplified management algorithm vs. Guideline-recommended stepped-care algorithm was evaluated on Blood pressure control. Fixed-dose combination-based therapy controlled blood pressure in approximately 65% of uncomplicated hypertensive patients compared to 53% using a guideline-recommended stepped-care algorithm.
