| Summary: | Aim. To compare clinical efficacy of standard outpatient follow-up of hypertensive patients with efficacy of such follow-up with application of internet techniques and mobile telephone systems (ITMTS).
Material and methods. Two groups of hypertensive patients were examined: group 1 (n = 97, 45% females, age 49±11 years) on one-year ITMTS follow-up; group 2 (n = 102, 50% females, age 51±11 years) on standard one-year follow-up. Clinical efficacy was assessed by the rate of achievement and maintenance of target blood pressure, dynamics of modifiable risk factors (smoking, obesity) for a year.
Results. Withdrawal in group 1 was 36%, target blood pressure was achieved in 77% patients vs 12% in group 2 (p < 0.001).
Conclusion. Introduction of ITMTS technologies into outpatient clinics activity considerably raises efficacy of outpatient treatment of hypertensive patients. |
