Brief Summary

Previous studies have reported a high prevalence of hypertensive (HT) urgency. However, these studies have also reported low rates of serious complications, suggesting that rapid blood pressure (BP) reduction may be unnecessary. There are limited clinical data available on this topic in Asian populations. The investigators aimed to determine the basic characteristics, treatment methods, and outcomes in HT urgency patients, both in the emergency room (ER) and at a two-week follow-up.

Conditions

Hypertension on Emergence

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)

  The investigators aimed to compare systolic and diastolic blood pressure level at baseline and before discharge from the emergency room (ER)

  Up to 24 hours

• Discharge status including 1. discharge to home 2. admit to hospital 3. death 4. refer to another hospital

  Discharge status from emergency room was observed and collected.

  Up to 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Systolic and diastolic blood pressure at first hypertension clinic follow up

  2 weeks after discharge from emergency room

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients aged 18 years or older who visited the ER with a diagnosis of HT urgency were consecutively enrolled in the study. Patients who were pregnant or lactating, had secondary causes of hypertension were excluded from the study.

You may qualify if:

• Patients aged 18 years or older who visited the ER with a diagnosis of HT urgency

You may not qualify if:
