Details and patient eligibility

About

To investigate the proportion, medication use and control rate of metabolic abnormalities such as dyslipidemia in outpatients with hypertension in different levels of hospitals in China. To investigate the gap between guidelines and clinical practices, and analyze the cause. we also set up a continuing medical education program to narrow the gap and the effect of the program will be estimated.

  1. Patients aged< 18 years old.
  2. Patients without a definite diagnosis of hypertension(for instance, if the patient has been taking antihypertensive drugs irregularly, it is difficult to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension).
