Intervention / Comparator
Detection, adherence, and control strategies vs Usual care or case finding
Primary Outcome
Detection of hypertension, patient adherence, and blood pressure control
Limitations
- Evidence is lacking to support any specific approaches to improving patient adherence with antihypertensive drugs or lifestyle changes.
- Evidence to support nurse-led compared with doctor-led care as a better option in achieving blood pressure control is very sparse.
