Brief Summary

This study is exploratory in nature and seeks to describe hypertension diagnosis and management among patients in long-term care (LTC) facilities. Specifically, the primary objective is to:

• Identify LTC patients who are diagnosed with hypertension and assess the management and different outcomes of proper control of BP regarding to incidence of falls, cognitive decline, kidney diseases, cardiovascular diseases and incidence of cerebrovascular accidents The secondary objectives are to: Describe treatment patterns of hypertension in LTC facilities
• Identify patients who are receiving non-pharmacological treatment and effectiveness of this modality of treatment.
• Identify different classes of drugs used to treat hypertension in patients staying at LTC facility
• Identify different drug adverse effects encountered by patients receiving medical treatment.
• Identify patients who achieved normal blood pressure according to current guidelines

Interventions

Chart review OTHER

This is a retrospective chart review study. The charts of patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be abstracted into a standardized electronic case report form, as described in Section 5. A standardized case report form for each patient will be created so as to collect uniform data. Charts data for one year back to the start date of data abstraction will be included in the study

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 65 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population will consist of patients residing at a LTC facility affiliated with Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) at the start of data collection for a minimum of three months period. Chart and claims data will be collected retrospectively back to one year from date of the start date of data abstraction.

You may qualify if:

• Being diagnosed with hypertension
• Be ≥ 60 years of age
• Stays at the LTC facility for at least 3 months

You may not qualify if:

• Patients under age of 60 Patients without diagnosis of hypertension Terminally ill patients and hospice patients
