Trial summary

Home blood pressure measurement has been reported to be associated with better clinic blood pressure and daytime blood pressure control. However, no study has evaluated the association between home blood pressure measurement and control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in real world practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Home Blood Pressure Measurement for the Management of Hypertension in Treated Hypertensive Patients

Home blood pressure measurement has been reported to be associated with better clinic blood pressure and daytime blood pressure control. However, no study has evaluated the association between home blood pressure measurement and control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in real world practice.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the control of ambulatory blood pressure in the real world.

The detailed purposes of the present study are (1) to investigate the effects of home blood pressure measurement on the appropriate control of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients treated with antihypertensive drug, (2) to evaluate the effect of home blood pressure measurement on the occurrence of cardiovascular events and target organ damage, (3) to investigate the status and appropriateness of home blood pressure measurement in the real world, and (4) to investigate factors of home blood pressure measurement methods affecting the treatment of hypertension.

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference of 24-hour blood pressure control rate

    difference of 24-hour blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Difference of daytime blood pressure control rate

    Difference of daytime blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  2. Difference of office blood pressure control rate

    Difference of office blood pressure control rate between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  3. Difference of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (office, 24-hour, daytime, nighttime)

    Difference of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (office, 24-hour, daytime, nighttime) between patients who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  4. Rate of home blood pressure measurement

    Rate of home blood pressure measurement in study population

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  5. Reflection of home blood pressure

    Rate of reflecting home blood pressure in the treatment of hypertension at office

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  6. cardiovascular disease prevalence and target organ damage

    Difference of cardiovascular disease prevalence and target organ damage between patient who do or do not measure home blood pressure

    • Composites of cardiovascular disease: number of participants with non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, revascularization of arteries, stroke, transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation, heart failure hospitalization, progression to end-stage renal failure or elevation of creatinine more than 2-fold, other undefined cardiovascular events at the discretion of the investigator
    • Target organ damage: left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, microalbuminuria

    Measured: at baseline and 3 years of follow up

  7. Changes of home blood pressure measurement rate

    Changes of home blood pressure measurement rate in study population after 3 year of follow up from baseline

    Measured: from baseline to 3 years of follow up

  8. Cardiovascular disease events and target organ damage

    Difference of occurrence of cardiovascular disease events and target organ damage between patient who measure and do not measure home blood pressure

    • Composites of cardiovascular disease events: number of participants with first occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, revascularization of arteries, stroke, transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation, heart failure hospitalization, progression to end-stage renal failure or elevation of creatinine more than 2-fold, other undefined cardiovascular events at the discretion of the investigator
    • Target organ damage: left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiography, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, microalbuminuria from enrollment

    Measured: during 3 years of follow up from baseline measurement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypertension and Blood Pressure, run by DongGuk University 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 1 inclusion and 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2021. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Difference of 24-hour blood pressure control rate (time frame: at baseline and 3 years of follow up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03868384, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 12 Jul 2021.
