- - The study aimed to see if adding a predictive model for primary aldosteronism (PA) to a hypertension decision tool would boost PA screening in primary care settings.
- - Data from 153 primary care clinics showed that clinics using the predictive model had significantly higher rates of PA screening compared to those without it, especially among high-risk patients.
- - The findings suggest that incorporating predictive models into clinical decision support can effectively improve the screening rates for under-detected conditions like primary aldosteronism.
