Background: Uncontrolled hypertension is a common problem worldwide, despite the availability of many effective antihypertensive drugs and lifestyle interventions. We assessed the efficacy of a multi-component intervention in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension in a primary care setting.

Methods: This study was a randomized, multicenter, parallel, two-arm, single-blind controlled trial performed in primary healthcare centers in Mallorca (Spain).

Long-Term Effect of Home Blood Pressure Self-Monitoring Plus Medication Self-Titration for Patients With Hypertension: A Secondary Analysis of the ADAMPA Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Patient empowerment through pharmacologic self-management is a common strategy for some chronic diseases such as diabetes, but it is rarely used for controlling blood pressure (BP). Several trials have shown its potential for reducing BP in the short term, but evidence in the longer term is scarce.

Objective: To evaluate the longer-term effectiveness of BP self-monitoring plus self-titration of antihypertensive medication vs usual care for patients with poorly controlled hypertension, with passive follow-up and primary-care nursing involvement.

Article Synopsis
  • * A qualitative study involving 35 healthcare providers from Peru and Cameroon explored their views on this management approach, revealing generally positive perspectives but also significant concerns about patient safety, resource availability, and the sustainability of such interventions.
  • * Providers believe that for home blood pressure management to work effectively, customized, context-sensitive protocols should be developed, taking local challenges and healthcare environments into consideration.

Background: Patient empowerment through pharmacological self-management is a common strategy in some chronic diseases such as diabetes, but it is rarely used for controlling blood pressure.

Objective: This study aimed to assess self-monitoring plus self-titration of antihypertensive medication versus usual care for reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 12 months in poorly controlled hypertensive patients.

Design: The ADAMPA study was a pragmatic, controlled, randomized, non-masked clinical trial with two parallel arms in Valencia, Spain.

Background: To compare the efficacy and safety of two insulin self-titration algorithms, Implementing New Strategies with Insulin Glargine for Hyperglycemia Treatment (INSIGHT) and EDITION, for insulin glargine 300 units/mL (Gla-300) in Korean individuals with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: In a 12-week, randomized, open-label trial, individuals with uncontrolled T2DM requiring basal insulin were randomized to either the INSIGHT (adjusted by 1 unit/day) or EDITION (adjusted by 3 units/week) algorithm to achieve a fasting self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in the range of 4.4 to 5.
