This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Self-Monitoring Blood Pressure amongst people with hypertension using a cross-sectional survey. Of the 955 who replied (53%), 293 (31%) reported that they self-monitored blood pressure. Nearly 60% (198/331) self-monitored at least monthly. Diabetic patients monitoring their blood glucose were five times more likely than those not monitoring to monitor their blood pressure. Self-monitoring is less common in the UK than internationally, but is practiced by enough people to warrant greater integration into clinical practice.
本研究旨在通过横断面调查确定高血压患者中自我监测血压的流行情况。在955名回复者(占53%)中,293人(占31%)报告他们进行自我监测血压。近60%(198/331)的人至少每月进行一次自我监测。监测血糖的糖尿病患者自我监测血压的可能性是非监测者的五倍。自我监测在英国比在国际上更不常见,但有足够多的人进行自我监测,值得在临床实践中更好地整合。
