Asociación entre el grado de control de la hipertensión arterial, la comorbilidad y los costes en personas de más de 30 años durante el año 2006

Abstract

Those individuals whose arterial hypertension was poorly controlled displayed a greater burden of morbidity and a similar healthcare cost in comparison to those under good control.

Assessing the impact of educational intervention in patients with hypertension

“…This is consistent with another study which showed that the support of a family member in patient's adherence behaviours, together with educational measures, can be effective in improving adherence (Pladevall et al 2010). As suggested by Sicras-Mainar et al (2008), adequate adherence to treatment can improve blood pressure control and, indirectly, help in reducing the burden of this public health problem. Morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure, as uncontrolled hypertension, either with or without CV event, may lead to increased clinic visits, emergency room visits and/or hospital admissions.…”

“…Uncontrolled high blood pressure can, therefore, result in poor quality of life, increased dependency plus higher healthcare and social expenditures (Sicras‐Mainar et al . ). Over the years, although the rates of detection and control of hypertension in many countries have improved, uncontrolled hypertension still remains universal (McAlister et al .…”

“…Hypertension is estimated to cause about 7.5 million (12.8%) of total deaths worldwide, accounting for 57 million (3.7%) of life lost due to premature death, as well as years of healthy life lost due to illness and disability (termed disability-adjusted life years) (Mathers et al 2009). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can, therefore, result in poor quality of life, increased dependency plus higher healthcare and social expenditures (Sicras-Mainar et al 2008). Over the years, although the rates of detection and control of hypertension in many countries have improved, uncontrolled hypertension still remains universal (McAlister et al 2011).…”
