Can Fam Physician. 1979 Oct;25:1170-2.
A 13 year review of a Hamilton, Ontario, family practice resulted in the detection of 607 hypertensive patients through case finding. By using a series of simple strategies, the measurement and recording of patients' blood pressures increased from 41% in 1965 to 98% in 1977. Team members now consistently measure and record the blood pressures at virtually all encounters of patients at risk and are convinced that case finding is the only method of detection of hypertension which is at all logical, economical and practical.
安大略省汉密尔顿的一家家庭诊所对 13 年的病例进行了回顾,通过病例发现,共查出 607 例高血压患者。通过一系列简单的策略,患者血压的测量和记录从 1965 年的 41%增加到 1977 年的 98%。现在,团队成员几乎在所有有风险的患者就诊时都会测量并记录他们的血压,并坚信病例发现是检测高血压的唯一合理、经济和实用的方法。
