BACKGROUND
the clinical utility of the prehypertension label is questionable. We sought to estimate how often patients with prehypertension are being told about it by their primary care clinicians.
METHODS
we conducted a cross-sectional study of adult patients visiting practices within the North Carolina Family Medicine Research Network in summer 2008. Non-hypertensive patients were asked whether a doctor or other health care provider had ever told them they had "prehypertension"; a subsample of patients with measured blood pressure (BP) in the prehypertension range was asked the same question.
RESULTS
of 1008 non-hypertensive patients, 1.9% indicated being told they had prehypertension. Among a subsample of 102 patients with measured BP in the prehypertension range, 2.0% indicated being told they had prehypertension.
CONCLUSION
few patients who probably have prehypertension are being told about it by clinicians.
背景
高血压前期的临床实用性值得怀疑。我们试图评估有多少高血压前期患者的初级保健临床医生告知他们这一情况。
方法
我们对 2008 年夏季北卡罗来纳州家庭医学研究网络内诊所就诊的成年患者进行了一项横断面研究。非高血压患者被问及医生或其他医疗保健提供者是否曾告诉他们患有“高血压前期”；血压处于高血压前期范围的患者亚组被问及同样的问题。
结果
在 1008 名非高血压患者中，1.9%表示曾被告知患有高血压前期。在血压处于高血压前期范围的 102 名患者亚组中，2.0%表示曾被告知患有高血压前期。
结论
可能患有高血压前期的患者中，很少有患者被临床医生告知这一情况。
