In 8,735 patients managed in a nurse-physician clinic, overall hypertension control rates were 49.3-51.4%, but control was markedly lower in patients >60 years due to persistent systolic hypertension.
Observational (n=8,735)
8,735 patients with hypertension managed in a nurse-physician clinic model between 1997 and 2000.
Age > 60 years vs Age < 60 years
Hypertension control (mean of last two readings <140/90 mm Hg)
Hypertension control rates (BP 60 years of age were markedly lower than for younger patients (Table 1). The differences in control rates between patients > 60 years of age and those less than 60 years were also seen when control was defined as: 1) the mean of all visits in a year was 60 years are better than reported worldwide but still poor, this is due to persistent systolic hypertension. New treatment paradigms are necessary to improve control rates in the elderly.

John W. Graves (Thu,) conducted a observational in Hypertension (n=8,735). Age > 60 years vs. Age < 60 years was evaluated on Hypertension control (mean of last two readings <140/90 mm Hg). In 8,735 patients managed in a nurse-physician clinic, overall hypertension control rates were 49.3-51.4%, but control was markedly lower in patients >60 years due to persistent systolic hypertension.
