About this study

To explore in a pilot randomized clinical trial, the impact of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring with patient directed information as compared to usual care on the postoperative management of blood pressure.

Read the detailed description

The intervention and control groups will be defined by, 1) preoperative home blood pressure monitoring with a detailed report sent to the patient, and 2) usual standard of care including a suggestion during the pre-operative clinic appointment to follow up with Primary Care. Both groups will receive a brief questionnaire about their blood pressure treatment and medication adherence. We will examine the rate of primary care follow-up and changes in hypertension treatment at 60 days post-operative, through a telephone call. This information, along with information regarding patient acceptance of the intervention will be used to inform the design of a future clinical trial powered to outcomes, including follow-up visits and blood pressure management.

Study groups in NCT03634813
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
High Blood Pressure Monitoring and CounselingExperimentalEnrolled patients will be fitted with a HBPM device and instructed in its use. Patients will be asked to return the HBPM device on the morning of surgery. At the same time they receive the HBPM device, they will also be provided with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) booklet called "Your guide on lowering blood pressure", which has several guidelines regarding diet, exercise and lifestyle changes that can be implemented to improve blood pressure control.
Receives: Device: High Blood Pressure Monitor
Usual CareActive comparatorThe usual care group will receive brief counseling after the PAT visit which will review their blood pressure readings taken at the clinic and how they compare with the American Heart Association (AHA) blood pressure guidelines. They will be offered the suggestion that they should follow up with their primary care doctor 2-4 weeks after their surgical episode is completed, or at their earliest convenience.
Receives: Procedure: Usual Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Patients Reporting Primary Care Follow-up

    For the primary analysis, we will estimate the proportion of subjects that had a primary care follow-up visit within 60 days

    Measured: 60 days

  2. Patients Reporting New/Adjusted Hypertension Treatment.

    For the primary analysis, we will estimate the proportion reporting new/adjusted hypertension treatment within 60 days. The count of participants is the number of patients for whom it was determined that they had new or adjusted hypertension treatment.

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient Acceptance/Satisfaction With Blood Pressure Care

    Patient Acceptance/Satisfaction With Blood Pressure Care. A questionnaire was provided to all participants, these data were not intended to be compared between treatment arms. The count of participants is the number of participants that reported they were moderately to very satisfied with their care.

    Measured: 60 days
