Blood pressure screening, management and control in England: results from the health survey for England 1994
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the current levels of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in England and to determine the number and type of drugs prescribed. DESIGN: A cross-sectional household-based survey of English adults. SUBJECTS: A random sample from the adult English population of 12,116 adults who participated in the 1994 Health Survey for England. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prevalences of treatment hypertension, awareness and control. RESULTS: Using a definition of hypertension as a systolic blood pressure > or = 160 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure > or = 95 mmHg, or a patient's being administered antihypertensive treatment, the prevalence of awareness of hypertension was 63%. Among hypertensives, 50% were receiving treatment and 30% had their hypertension controlled (< 160 mmHg/95 mmHg). Awareness, treatment and control rates are considerably lower than the most recently reported rates from the USA. Diuretics and beta-blockers remain the most common antihypertensive agents used in England. CONCLUSION: There is considerable scope for improving the treatment and control of hypertension in the English adult population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
