Does home blood pressure monitoring improve blood pressure-related outcomes in people living with chronic kidney disease? A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: High blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and disease progression in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence on the effects of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is limited. This review aimed to determine the effect of HBPM on systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in patients with CKD. We searched medical literature databases for eligible studies presenting pre- and post-data for interventions utilizing HBPM. Study quality was assessed using the NHLBI tools for quality assessment. Heterogeneity prohibited a meta-analysis so estimates of effects were calculated along a sign test to examine the probability of observing the given pattern of positive effect direction. Eighteen studies were included (n = 1187 participants, mean age 56.7 [± 7.7] yea
