Study Overview
Brief Summary
The two scientific societies FADOI and SIIA have decided to start a collaborative study protocol that, through the application of a simple and homogeneous method to diagnose orthostatic hypotension, aims to estimate prevalence, conditions associates and outcomes in a cohort of patients admitted to Internal Medicine Departments and with known or newly diagnosed arterial hypertension.
Detailed Description
The IP-OP study, is an observational, multicenter, prospective, national study that provides for the involvement of 34 Operating Units of Internal Medicine, and the recording of data relating to 1000 hospitalized adults.
The clinical data of all consecutive patients diagnosed with arterial hypertension hospitalized in Internal Medicine and able to take the erect station will be collected.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
clinical conditions ( physiological parameters, copatologies) associated with the presence of orthostatic hypotension
Time Frame: 4 months
Identification, through a multivariate analysis, of the clinical conditions associated with the presence of orthostatic hypotension in the population of hypertensive patients admitted to Internal Medicine
Secondary Outcomes

- Level of cognitive impairment of the subjects studied, and relationship with orthostatic hypotension(4 months)
- After 6-12-24-36 months from the index hospitalization, of the state of health of all the subjects evaluated(6-12-24-36 months from hospitalization)
- Relationship between orthostatic hypotension and comorbidity by calculating the index of Charlson comorbidity(4 months)
- Prevalence of orthostatic hypotension(4 months)
- Relationship between orthostatic hypotension and a Fragility Index(4 months)
- Prescription drugs on the presence and severity of hypotension Orthostatic(4 months)
- Presence of orthostatic hypertension(4 months)
