Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To gain further insight into the safety profile of Sevikar HCT in daily practice by estimating the incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), by evaluating the ADR profile, and by investigating possible correlations with concomitant medication. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the efficacy within each of the Sevikar HCT dosages in daily practice (by measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate at every visit). / To evaluate patient compliance with Sevikar HCT in daily practice based on physician’s judgment. / To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability based on physician’s judgment. / To evaluate the influence of chronobiology on the efficacy andtolerability of Sevikar HCT in daily practice. / To evaluate the disease burden in hypertensive patients, as well as the general health status at visit 1 and at the final assessment [Hypertension-specific Questionnaire on Patients’ “Perceived Strain” by the High Blood Pressure (Part A) and on Patients’ Unspecific Symptoms (Part B) + SF-12 Health Survey]. / To gain further insight into pharmacoeconomic aspects of hypertension and antihypertensive therapy. | — |
