Abstract:The epidemiology of elevations in blood pressure is incompletely characterized, particularly in Australia. Given the lack of evidence regarding the frequency and the optimal management of in‐hospital hypertension, the authors performed a multicenter retrospective cohort study of consecutive medical admissions in South Australia over a 2‐year period to investigate systolic blood pressure levels and their association with in‐hospital mortality. Among 16 896 inpatients, 76% had at least one systolic blood pressur… Show more
