Authors: Axon RN, Cousineau L, Egan BM BACKGROUND:: Hypertension
(HTN) is a major cardiovascular risk factor yet control rates
remain suboptimal. Thus, improving recognition, treatment, and

hospitalized patients is warranted. Current consensus guidelines do

or patterns of care in this setting. METHODS:: We conducted a
systematic review of English-language studies published in 1976 or
later that reported on HTN prevalence and care patterns among adult
inpatients. We included MEDLINE-indexed randomized-controlled
trials, meta-ana...
