Objectives: Triaging patients with suspected high blood pressure for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), on the basis of their clinic blood pressure and characteristics, may reduce the need for ABPM. This study aimed to prospectively validat...

Are self-reported telemonitored blood pressure readings affected by end-digit preference: a prospective cohort study in Scotland (2018)
Journal Article
Parker, R. A., Paterson, M., Padfield, P., Pinnock, H., Hanley, J., Hammersley, V. S., Al-Remal, M., Steventon, A., & McKinstry, B. (2018).

BMJ Open, 8(1), Article e019431. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2017-019431

Objective Simple forms of blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring require patients to text readings to central servers creating an opportunity for both entry error and manipulation. We wished to determine if there was an apparent preference for particul...

Predicting Out-of-Office Blood Pressure in the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Hypertension in Primary Care: An Economic Evaluation. Hypertension, https://doi.org/10.1161/hypertensionaha.117.10244

Clinical guidelines in the United States and United Kingdom recommend that individuals with suspected hypertension should have ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring to confirm the diagnosis. This approach reduces misdiagnosis because of white coa...

PLOS Medicine, 13(7), Article e1002098. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002098

Background

Self-monitoring of blood glucose among people with type 2 diabetes not treated with insulin does not appear to be effective in improving glycemic control. We investigated whether health professional review of telemetrically transmitted...

The impact of general practitioner morale on patient satisfaction with care: a cross-sectional study (2007)
Journal Article

Background
The association between stress and morale among general practitioners (GP) is well documented. However, the impact of GP stress or low morale on patient care is less clear. GPs in the UK now routinely survey patients about the quality of... Read More about The impact of general practitioner morale on patient satisfaction with care: a cross-sectional study.

Impact on hypertension control of patient-held guideline: a randomised controlled trial. (2006)

Background
Hypertension is generally poorly controlled in primary care. One possible intervention for improving control is the harnessing of patient expertise through education and encouragement to challenge their care.


Aim
