Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint is the number of antihypertensive medications needed per patient to achieve the target home blood pressure goal. The step number of antihypertensive medication where the target blood pressure is achieved is considered as the number of antihypertensive medications needed for blood pressure control. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) The average reduction of self-measured home blood pressure caused by a single mdication step in each patient calculated by the following equation: (baseline blood pressure) - (achieved blood pressure) / the step number where target blood pressure is achieved. (2) Self-measured blood pressure at home (3) Clinic blood pressure | — |
