Study information

Study designA cluster randomized, controlled, clinical trial
Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Not specified
Study typeDiagnostic
Scientific titleConventional Versus Automated Measurement of Blood Pressure in the Office
Study acronymThe CAMBO Study
Study objectivesAutomated office systolic blood pressure (SBP) recordings in routine clinical practice using the BpTRU device will reflect more accurately the mean awake ambulatory systolic blood pressure (BP) than manual BP readings taken with conventional mercury sphygmomanometry. This should lead to improvements in the management of systolic hypertension with optimization of drug therapy in practices using the BpTRU device.
Ethics approval(s)Approved by the Sunnybrook Research Ethics Board (REB) on 20/10/2005, reference number: 392-2005
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSystolic hypertension
InterventionMeasurement of blood pressure using automated office BP with a target of 135 mmHg versus office mercury sphygmomanometer with a target of 140 mmHg
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureDifferences in SBP between the mean awake ambulatory BP and the manual office BP versus the difference in SBP between the mean awake ambulatory BP and the automated office BP
Secondary outcome measures1. Differences in SBP between the mean awake 24-hour ambulatory BP and the manual office BP versus the automated BP
2. Differences in SBP between the mean nocturnal ambulatory BP and the manual office BP versus the automated BP
3. Differences in coefficients of correlation (r value) between the awake ambulatory BP and the manual versus automated office BP
4. Differences in the coefficients of correlation between the manual office SBP versus the automated BP versus the mean awake, 24-hour or nocturnal ambulatory SBP
5. Differences in the primary outcome between men and women
6. Adverse effects related to management of hypertension with manual versus automated BP
7. Differences in intensity of drug therapy for manual versus automated office BP patients
8. Frequency of medication changes for manual versus automated office BP patients
9. Cost of drug therapy at year two for manual versus automated office BP patients
10. Clinical events of serious adverse events reported for manual versus automated office BP patients
Overall study start date15/01/2006
Completion date15/01/2008

Eligibility

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexBoth
Target number of participants500
Total final enrolment461
Key inclusion criteriaBoth treated and untreated patients with systolic hypertension under routine family physician (FP) care. For untreated patients, routine office SBP as measured by the patient's FP at the last routine office visit using a mercury device must have SBP ≥160 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≤95 mmHg. For patients already receiving antihypertensive therapy, the last routine office BP as measured by the patient's FP using mercury sphygmomanometry must be SBP ≥140 mmHg and DBP ≤90 mmHg.
Key exclusion criteria1. Presence of target organ damage such as myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and serum creatinine twice the upper limit of normal
2.Diabetes mellitus treated with insulin or oral hypoglycemic therapy
3. Secondary hypertension
4. Participation in another research study involving measurement of BP
5. Patient's insistence on using self BP measurement outside of the study
6. Any conditions or circumstances which might preclude the successful completion of the study
