Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study was performed to review the clinical and economic effectiveness of education and consulting for hypertension management in hypertension patients. We searched for systematic reviews and cost-effectiveness literature in Ovid-Medline, Cochrane Systematic Reviews Database, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination, and KoreaMed. The quality of the systematic reviews was e valuated using Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR). Three systematic reviews and four cost-effectiveness studies were selected according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Educating the patients on ways to effectively manage hypertension reduced the patients’ blood pressure and improved the blood pressure control rate. In conclusion, the education and consulting for hypertension management was both clinically effective and cost-effective.
