Hypertension Guidelines in Uganda: PP.20.301

Abstract

conditions are associated with mild increase of general inflammatory markers and a further investigation into their relationship shall be investigated.Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence and incidence of arterial hypertension (AH) recorded in a computerized outpatient information system implemented in almost all primary health centres of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain).Design and Methods: From the information recorded by the primary care (diagnosis of hypertension -ICD 401 to 405 -) and the population assigned to each center is estimated prevalence (total cases diagnosed) and the annual incidence (new cases diagnosed during the year) for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.We have taken into account for analysis three age groups (under 15 years, between 15 and 64 and over 64) also have analyzed the data by sex.We calculated the confidence interval (95%) to assess whether the differences were statistically significant.

Pattern of blood pressure distribution and prevalence of hypertension and prehypertension among adults in Northern Ethiopia: disclosing the hidden burden

“…It is also lower than most of the neighboring East African populations such as 18.2%-27% in Sudan [24,25], 30% in Tanzania [26], 30.5% in Uganda [27], 32.6% in Kenya [28]. Nonetheless, there is a growing pattern of hypertension in the region from time to time.…”

“…The present result of hypertension prevalence in Northern Ethiopian population (18.1%) is higher than the 13.2% of Southwest Ethiopia [ 2 ] but lower than the 28.9-31.5% in Addis Ababa, capital city of Ethiopia [ 23 ]. It is also lower than most of the neighboring East African populations such as 18.2%-27% in Sudan [ 24 , 25 ], 30% in Tanzania [ 26 ], 30.5% in Uganda [ 27 ], 32.6% in Kenya [ 28 ].
