Accuracy of self-reported hypertension

Abstract: Less than half of patients with HTN would not be identified by self-reporting in epidemiological studies. Self-reported HTN has important limitations and may represent an important source of bias in research depending on regional, socioeconomic, and cultural differences.

“…Although we took steps to treat diagnoses and diagnosis dates conservatively, self-reported diagnoses of hypertension tend to have lower validity than those drawn from medical records. 50 Our use of diagnosis times would likely protect our analyses from some more common issues with low specificity in self-reports of hypertension. 50…”

“…While previous studies have shown that self-report of hypertension or high blood pressure is typically consistent with clinical diagnoses or treatment for hypertension based on electronic medical record review [64], some studies have found under-reporting of hypertension status in 8 to 10 percent of cases [65,66]. Moreover, a recent meta-analysis showed that self-reported hypertension had only 42% sensitivity and 90% specificity for objectively assessed hypertension in epidemiological studies [67]. It is notable, however, that the data in that meta-analysis were heterogeneous.…”
