Article Synopsis
- This study highlights that screening for primary aldosteronism is recommended for patients with hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea, yet adherence to these guidelines is low, likely due to perceived costs.
- A decision-analytic model was used to compare costs and health outcomes of guideline-recommended screening versus current practices, finding that guideline adherence is both less expensive and more effective.
- The findings suggest that increasing adherence to screening guidelines can save costs and reduce cardiovascular risks for patients, indicating that cost should not hinder the implementation of these recommendations.
