About this study

Official title: Observational Study to Investigate Resistant Hypertension Prevalence Among the Hypertensive Patients Who Have Been Treated in Korean General Hospitals

Study Objectives The study is to identify prevalence, demography and clinical characteristics of patients with resistant hypertension among hypertensive patients who have been treated in general hospitals in Korea from Jan 2012 to Jun 2012.

  • Diagnosis of resistant hypertension: In case of clinic blood pressure exceeding the boundary of systolic blood pressure at 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure at 90mmHg (hereinafter refer to as 140/90mmHg) (130/80mmHg for patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease) despite triple antihypertensive therapy at optimal dose may be diagnosed as resistant hypertension. Antihypertensive medications used include diuretics. Resistant hypertension may also be diagnosed when clinic blood pressure has reached the target value but quadruple or more of antihypertensives are used.
  • Diagnosis of controlled hypertension: Patients whose clinic blood pressure equals to 140/90mmHg (130/80mmHg for patients with diabetes mellitus or chronic renal disease) or less with the administration of antihypertensives at optimal dose may be diagnosed as controlled hypertension.

Primary Objective:

Prevalence in patients with resistant hypertension among hypertensive patients who have been treated in Korean general hospitals

Secondary Objectives:

Analysis of correlation in patients with resistant hypertension and patients with controlled hypertension who received triple antihypertensive therapy in terms of demography, clinical characteristics and other factors

  1. Demographic data (age, sex, and body mass index)
  2. Clinical characteristics
  • Vital signs
  • Lifestyles (history of drinking, smoking, and exercise)
  • Family history (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, renal/adrenal disease, cerebrovascular disease, and respiratory disease)
  • Concurrent diseases (diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, renal/adrenal disease, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease, and others)
  • History of antihypertensive therapy (past and present)
  • Medication compliance of antihypertensives
  • Concomitant medications

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of resistant hypertension

    Prevalence of resistant hypertension will be estimated, and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated. In addition, proportion of controlled hypertensive patients and its 95% confidence interval will be calculated.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Analysis of correlation in patients with resistant hypertension and patients with controlled hypertension who received triple antihypertensive therapy in terms of demography, clinical characteristics and other factors

    Clinical characteristics in subjects diagnosed of resistant hypertension and those diagnosed of controlled hypertension will be described in summary.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension, run by Handok Inc. at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of resistant hypertension (time frame: up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jan 2015.
