Risk Prediction Model for Uncontrolled Hypertension in Chinese Community.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Uncontrolled hypertension rate was still high across China. This study develops and validates an index to help quantify the combination of socio-behavioral aspects to screen high-risk patients in uncontrolled hypertension in Chinese primary care.

Methods

A cross-sectional study included 1,039 of patients with hypertension in the Chinese community. We assessed independent risk factors of uncontrolled blood pressure (defined as having a blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg, even with antihypertensive therapy) and develop a risk prediction model.

Results

Among the 1,039 patients (53.9% male, the average age was 61 ± 13 years), 452 (43.5%) were uncontrolled hypertensive. Multivariable analysis showed that worker (odds ratio, OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 1.46-2.69), no health insur
