An audit of a practice which has a policy of opportunistic screening for raised blood pressure showed that 80 per cent of patients born between 1930-44 had been screened in the last five years. Patients who had not been screened were identified and contacted; this increased the percentage screened to 87 per cent. Only four possible new hypertensives were identified. It is suggested that the effort and expense of achieving this result was not worthwhile and that opportunistic screening is the cheapest and easiest method of screening for high blood pressure.
一项针对实施机会性血压筛查政策的医疗机构的审计显示，在1930年至1944年出生的患者中，80%在过去五年中接受过筛查。未接受筛查的患者被识别并取得联系；这使得筛查比例提高到了87%。仅识别出四名可能的新高血压患者。有人认为，为取得这一结果所付出的努力和费用并不值得，机会性筛查是筛查高血压最便宜、最简便的方法。
