简要总结
High blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and high cholesterol are related to the increased risk of stroke and heart disease. Many studies have shown that this risk can be significantly reduced by lowering blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
Through a collaborative effort between Calgary Safeway pharmacists and Calgary Health Region family physician PCN's, U-CHAMP will deliver a program to assist in the identification and management of people with elevated blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol and through this effort, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in the urban Calgary population aged 18-85 years.
详细描述
Hypertension (HBP) has long been correlated with risk of stroke and other adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Randomized controlled trials of blood pressure lowering have demonstrated at least 30% reductions in stroke incidence and improved mortality. Despite being such a readily modifiable risk, HBP remains under diagnosed and under treated. To address this gap, the A-CHAMP (Airdrie Community Hypertension Awareness and Management Program) was successfully piloted in Airdrie, a community of 20,000 north of Calgary, Alberta. Trained volunteers held BP screening sessions for seniors in local pharmacies and referred hypertensive participants to their GP's and trained pharmacists for blood pressure management. Of the 408 screened participants (40% of all Airdrie seniors), 36.5% had uncontrolled HBP. By program end, systolic BP was decreased by 16.8 mm (+/- 14.6. P <.05) and 56.2% of hypertensive participants had reached the 2006 Canadian Hypertension Guideline targets. Airdrie now holds annual blood pressure screenings organized and run by volunteers, demonstrating the sustainability of this approach to population screening and risk factor management in this setting.
In order to fully realize the benefits of cardiovascular risk reduction, U-CHAMP will be expanded to include a more global risk assessment and management protocol including assessments for dyslipidemias and diabetes in an urban setting.
The purpose of this project is:
- To expand the rural scope of A-CHAMP into a larger urban setting (Calgary).
- To include a more global risk assessment (for both coronary artery disease and stroke) and management including: cholesterol (total and HDL cholesterol) and diabetes (capillary HgA1c when appropriate).
- To effect fully sustainable practice change in the management of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemias by establishing collaborative partnerships between pharmacists, Calgary Health Region (CHR) physicians (Primary Care Networks: PCN's), the CHR Chronic Disease Management Program (CDM), and selected hypertensive patients.

主要结局
Change in systolic blood pressure between baseline (average of visits one and two) and program end (final visit).
时间窗: 12 months
次要结局
- Proportion of screened participants identified as being above blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose targets at visit two(12 months)
- Proportion of participants that achieve published blood pressure (lipid and diabetes when appropriate) targets by program end(12 months)
- Proportion of individuals that obtain both a baseline and end of program full lipid panel(12 months)
- Change in Framingham Global Cardiovascular Risk score (in those participants that do not have known vascular disease or diabetes and have a recorded baseline and end-of-study full lipid panel).(12 months)
- Proportion of individuals that have changes in drug therapy (new medication and/or dosage increase).(12 months)
