Compliance with hypertension guidelines in general practice in Slovenia.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Compliance with hypertension guidelines in clinical practice is generally poor, but there was no data about compliance with any guidelines in general practice in Slovenia. OBJECTIVE:Our aim was to find out whether general practitioners in Slovenia managed their hypertensive patients according to the national guidelines, based on 1999 WHO/ISH guideline recommendations. METHOD:42 family physicians registered all patients with the diagnosis of arterial hypertension among 300 consecutive regular office visits. We used data about blood pressure management from paper medical records. RESULTS:We collected data from 2752 patients with hypertension; the mean age was 64.1 years (SD = 12.4 years, from 21 to 97 years). All elements of the minimal diagnostic program in the last five years were performed in 23.8% of the patients. In 1809 (65.7%) patients, whose cardiovascular risk was estimated, the minimal diagnostic program was performed more frequently (p < 0.001). Non-pharmacological measures were performed in 1210 (47.0%) patients. 2649 (97.6%) patients had drug therapy in accordance with the guidelines. Follow-up in accordance with the guidelines was performed in 1492 (55.3%) patients. Only 256 (9.3%) patients were managed completely according to the guidelines and only 347 (15.5%) of study population reached the target values of blood pressure. CONCLUSION:The impact of hypertension guidelines on patients' management in everyday primary care appears marginal. More emphasis should be placed on the efficient implementation of the guidelines.
