According to the World Health Organization in 2015, 40 million out of the 56 million deaths recorded worldwide (70%) were due to non-communicable diseases. These were mainly cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes.
A prospective descriptive study was conducted from October 2018 to March 2019. Availability of the files in the department's archives store for medical records and availability of trained physicians to perform diagnosis and treatment of HBP were the criteria used to select departments to be included in the study.
Patients data were recorded from internal medicine department (59.8%), emergency department (18.1%) gynaecology and obstetrics department (13.3%) and surgery department (8.6%). The mean age of the patients who were hospitalised in the study period was 54 years (SD±10.2) with extremes of 18 and 104 years. The modal class was the age group of 50 to 60 with 24.4% of cases. Among patients who were hospitalised, 3.6% (127) had essential hypertension, of which 57.4% (73) were women.
Notable percentage of patients hospitalized at the University Hospital of Kamenge had essential hypertension. However, patients' knowledge of their hypertensive status had no positive contribution to its management.
根据世界卫生组织2015年的数据，全球记录的5600万例死亡中，有4000万例（70%）是由非传染性疾病导致的。这些疾病主要是心血管疾病、癌症、慢性呼吸道疾病和糖尿病。
2018年10月至2019年3月进行了一项前瞻性描述性研究。选择纳入研究的科室的标准是该科室档案库中是否有病历档案以及是否有经过培训的医生来进行高血压的诊断和治疗。
患者数据来自内科（59.8%）、急诊科（18.1%）、妇产科（13.3%）和外科（8.6%）。研究期间住院患者的平均年龄为54岁（标准差±10.2），年龄范围为18岁至104岁。最常见的年龄组是50至60岁，占病例的24.4%。在住院患者中，3.6%（127例）患有原发性高血压，其中57.4%（73例）为女性。
卡门格大学医院住院患者中相当比例患有原发性高血压。然而，患者对自身高血压状况的了解对其治疗并无积极作用。
