Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleA longitudinal, cluster randomised, study on the impact of home blood pressure measurement on blood pressure control in the elderly
Study objectivesThat self measurement of blood pressure at home by elderly individuals may help to improve blood pressure control
Ethics approval(s)The Regional Ethics Committee (Comité de Protection des Personnes [CPP] Ile-de-France 7) approved on the 10th of June 1999 for the main cohort and on the 7th of July 2010 for the present study (ref: SC10-004)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHypertension
InterventionPatients to the clinic will be randomised by week, those visiting on even weeks will be assigned to:
1. Regular (every 3 months) self-measurement of blood pressure at home with an automatic device
Those visiting on odd weeks will be assigned to:
2. No regular self-measurement
The total duration of the intervention will be one year.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)Difference of office mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure among hypertensives between both groups at the end of the intervention period (1 year)
Key secondary outcome measure(s)1. Difference of home mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure among hypertensives between both groups
2. Difference of percentage of participants with hypertension between both groups
3. Difference of use of antihypertensive drugs between both groups
4. Frequency of masked and white coat hypertension and difference between both groups
5. Feasibility
All outcomes will be measured at the end of the intervention period (1 year)
