Study Population
The study population involved patients with hypertension
included in the PRESCOT cross-sectional epidemiologic
survey. The study was aimed to determine
the BP, LDL-C, and composite control rates in a population
of patients with hypertension attending general
practice clinics across Spain daily. Approximately
2000 primary care physicians participated in the
study, which was performed during 2004. Each
investigator was asked to include the first 6 consecutive
outpatients with hypertension who were seen at
the clinic. Men and women older than 18 years who
had an established diagnosis of hypertension and an
available blood test with a complete lipid profile performed
within the past 6 months were included in the
study. To correctly reflect the clinical daily practice,
no specific exclusion criteria were defined.เพื่อแปลเนื้อหา
