Web-based interventions to improve blood pressure control in patients with hypertension: a protocol for a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hypertension is the major cause of cardiovascular disease and mortality in the world. Blood pressure control (BPC) is recognised as a key measure in the management of hypertension. Several studies have been conducted assessing the impact of specific web-based interventions in improving BPC. Our systematic review intends to identify all the available web-based interventions and determine if and which are more effective than usual care in improving BPC.

Methods and analysis

We will include randomised control trials completed until April 2023 including patients diagnosed with hypertension comparing the effect of receiving usual care versus web-based interventions in BPC. No language restriction will be applied. We will start with an extensive electronic database se
