Completed

Conditions: Hypertension

Registration Number: CTRI/2018/05/014045

Lead Sponsor: Govt Medical College Rajindra Hospital Patiala

Brief Summary: Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic disease characterized by high blood pressure. Prolonged uncontrolled hypertension is implicated in various cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction, stroke, etc. Moreover, the disease can deteriorate the quality of life of patients as well.

Aim of the study: The aims of the study are to evaluate prescribing pattern and correlation between Cardiovascular risk and Quality of Life in patients of Hypertension.

Material and methods: In this observational cross-sectional study ,patients of known hypertension attending the Medicine OPD, Government Medical College and Rajindra Hospital, Patiala will be recruited for a period of one year. The required information will be noted. The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria and after verifying the exclusion criteria will be included in this study. All the prescriptions will be analyzed for the pattern of the medication prescribed. The cardiovascular risk score will be calculated according to the Framingham General CVD Risk Prediction scale using BMI. The health-related quality of life will be calculated using the Medical outcome survey- Short Form 36. The patients will be asked the questions in a layman language and the form will be filled accordingly by the investigator.

Clinical significance: There is scarcity of studies which establish the correlation between cardiovascular risk and health-related quality of life in Indian population. This study may help in formulating management guidelines based on twin guiding principles of cardiovascular risk score and health-related quality of life.

Keywords: Hypertension, Prescribing pattern, Cardiovascular risk score, Health-related Quality of Life, Medical outcome survey- Short Form 36.
