Availability and use of home blood pressure measurement in the Czech general population
Original language description
Background Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is recommended for hypertensive patients as a tool to improve both blood pressure (BP) control and compliance with treatment. Methods We evaluated the use of HBPM in hypertensive subjects examined during across-sectional general population survey (Czech post-MONICA). Models predicting the availability and use of HBPM were constructed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results Of 449 treated hypertensive patients (mean age 63.2 years,52.1% women), 250 (55.7%) reported that they had a device for BP monitoring available at home. The factors associated with HBPM availability were older age, university education, marital status, longer duration of hypertension and nonsmoking. Of the 250subjects with HBPM available, 40% used HBPM regularly (at least once a week), and this ratio increased with the number of antihypertensive drugs taken (monotherapy 30%, dual combination 43%, combination of equil or more than 3 drugs 48%;
