Self-measurement of blood pressure at home using a cuff device for change in blood pressure levels: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: The effect of self-measurement of blood pressure (BP) at home (home BP measurement, HBPM) has been evaluated over the past decade. This meta-analysis included the latest studies to determine whether HBPM reduced BP (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023442225). PubMed, Cochrane Library Database, and IchuShi-Web were searched for randomized controlled trials after the year 2000 which demonstrated the effect of HBPM on BP change compared with usual care (UC). Overall, 65 articles (n = 21,053; 63 based on patients with hypertension) were included. The systolic/diastolic BP reduction was significantly greater in the HBPM than in the UC group by 3.27/1.61 mmHg (95% confidence intervals: 2.40-4.15/1.14-2.07) at the end of the intervention, and I² values ≥ 46.7% suggested moderate-to-high heterogeneit
