Nurse-led digital health program for home blood pressure monitoring in stroke patients: protocol for a pooled analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke recurrence in stroke patients. Home blood pressure monitoring, facilitated by digital health technologies and led by nurses, may improve blood pressure control in this high-risk population. However, the evidence is not yet conclusive. This study protocol outlines a pooled analysis of the current literatures to evaluate the effectiveness of nurse-led digital health programs for home blood pressure monitoring in stroke patients.

Methods and analysis

We will conduct a comprehensive search of some major electronic databases (e.g., PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL) and trial registries for randomized controlled trials evaluating nurse-led digital health programs for home blood pressure monitoring in stroke pati
