About this study
Official title: Efficiency Program Monitoring and Control of Hypertension Through Pharmacy Offices. APOF Project
Background: Hypertension in adults is the factor most prevalent cardiovascular risk and motivates further inquiries, generating a very high cost of medical care.
Objective: To evaluate the monitoring of well-controlled hypertensive patients Pharmacy Offices. Hypothesis: the monitoring of these patients through the Office of Pharmacy will be as effective in obtaining good control of blood pressure as it is to obtained through health centers. Design: Multicenter randomized controlled trial along one year of follow up. Location: the city of Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona). Participants: All patients diagnosed with hypertension and good control criteria in the past year. Arms: Health centers (control) and Pharmacy Offices (intervention). Outcome variable: blood pressure under good control along the monitoring

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Measurement of Arterial PressureOther
Pharmacies cooperate in measuring blood pressure of patients
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Health Center (usual practice) | No intervention | Controlling arterial pressure in the health center (a common practice is carried out) |
| Collaboration of pharmacies | Experimental | Pharmacies cooperate in Measurement of Arterial Pressure of patients Receives: Other: Measurement of Arterial Pressure |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of hypertensive patients with criteria for good control of their arterial pressure along one year follow up
We considered as a for good control criterion , obtaining values of systolic arterial pressure to below 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure below 90 mm Hg dea, held along the entire the year follow-up of patients
Measured: Monitoring of patients for 12 months (from January 1 to December 31, 2010)
Secondary outcomes (1)
reduction in the number of visits to the health center to measure blood pressure
The number of visits to the health center where blood pressure is measured. We hope that the number of visits to the health center where blood pressure is measured is lower in the intervention group (the patients have the option to go to the pharmacy to carrying out checks blood pressure)
Measured: Monitoring of patients for 12 months (from January 1 to December 31, 2010)
