National trends in the Emergency Department management of adult patients with elevated blood pressure from 2005-2015

Journal of the American Society of Hypertension Oct 18, 2018

Goldberg EM, et al. - Researchers used the 2005-2015 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to evaluate temporal trends in US emergency department (ED) antihypertensive prescriptions, outpatient follow-up referrals, and diagnosis of hypertension/elevated blood pressure (BP), and assessed potential disparities by patient characteristics. They found that, for BP levels of ≥ 160/100 mm Hg, prescriptions were more common for black patients and uninsured patients, and diagnoses were also more common for these groups of patients. Findings indicated that the management of ED patients with elevated BP levels has changed little, despite American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines, and there remains a need for improvement in this regard.
