The valid data on the prevalence of hypertensive disease can be obtained only on the basis of follow-up statistics, i.e. comprehensively using the referral method and results of medical examinations among large population groups (at least 200,000 inhabitants).

[Use of discriminant analysis in the development of a prognostication system for complications of hypertension].

The knowledge of unfavourable factors affecting the course of essential hypertension (EH) cannot solve the problem of identifying persons for differentiated follow-up and treatment of those with the increased risk for EH complications. In order to elaborate the system of prognosing acute complications of EH among rural population a prospective and retrospective methods of observation were used. To develop a system of prognosing a discriminant analysis was used.
