About this study

Official title: OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INTERVENTION OF THE LOW-SODIUM DIET THROUGH THE MONITORING OF SODIUM IN URINE IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE IN THE PRIMARY CARE SETTING

Arterial hypertension is an independent vascular risk factor and a frequent reason for consultation in Primary Care. It generates high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and other diseases). Moreover, given that it is a modifiable factor and that there are intervention and control measures that would lead to a significant reduction in cardiovascular incidence and morbimortality, it can be stated that ETS is a major public health problem.

The approach to this risk factor can be pharmacological and non-pharmacological. The non-pharmacological approach is based on lifestyle modification. Among the measures aimed at modifying lifestyles is the restriction of daily intake of sodium in the diet. Such restriction enhances the hypotensive effect of pharmacological treatment so that its application and intensification would delay the start of pharmacological therapy, as well as avoid the need to increase the dose of antihypertensive drugs or the number of drugs to be used for the control of hypertension.

In relation to salt intake in the Spanish population, the average is above the figures of less than 5 grams per day recommended by the WHO. Sodium intake can be estimated by determining the 24-hour urine sodium concentration. In addition, there is a positive correlation between systolic and diastolic blood pressure figures and the excretion of sodium in urine.

Read the detailed description

In the present work, with a prospective cohort observational study design, it intends to assess the effectiveness of the use of an educational program based on the follow up of a hyposodium diet and assessed through the routine use of urine sodium monitoring of the hypertensive patient in the primary care setting, in order to optimize treatment, as well as to review the clinical control in this group of patients. On the other hand, it is intended to establish guidelines in the form of practical guidelines to provide with a standardized clinical approach for primary care centers.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adult patients diagnosed and treated for high blood pressureDrug

    Educational program interventions conducted by primary care staff to encourage adherence to a low-sodium diet consisting of direct action on the patient and provision of educational materials will be assessed. Compliance and follow-up of the low sodium diet will be done by monitoring the sodium in urine in the target population, selected according to the selection criteria described in the protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Systolic and diastolic TA values, the upper limit being 140 (systolic) and the lower range 90 (diastolic).

    Measured: basal

  2. Systolic and diastolic TA values, the upper limit being 140 (systolic) and the lower range 90 (diastolic).

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Sodium and potassium levels in 24-hour urine and isolated urine sample, with sodium limits of 20 mEq/L in a random urine sample and 40 to 220 mEq per day.

    Measured: basal

  2. Sodium and potassium levels in 24-hour urine and isolated urine sample, with sodium limits of 20 mEq/L in a random urine sample and 40 to 220 mEq per day, after educational intervention.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. To analyze the use of antihypertensive drugs USING morisk-green test, after educational intervention

    Measured: 6 months

  4. To verify compliance with the hyposodium diet and pharmacological treatment through the use of EuroQol-5D questionnaires

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arterial Hypertension and Sodium Urine, run by Instituto de Investigación Marqués de Valdecilla at 1 site in Spain.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2023. 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 Spain. 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 was stopped early (reason given: the principal investigator withdraws from the project for personal reasons). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Systolic and diastolic TA values, the upper limit being 140 (systolic) and the lower range 90 (diastolic). (time frame: basal). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Mar 2023.
