The Outcomes Research Task Force and the Canadian Hypertension Education Program
Abstract
The present report is an update on the contribution of the Canadian Hypertension Education Program's (CHEP) Outcomes Research Task Force to the surveillance and monitoring efforts surrounding hypertension and hypertension-related conditions in Canada. Components of the program include advocating national physical measures surveys of blood pressure; analysis of national cross-sectional and longitudinal population-based health surveys that assess hypertension diagnosis and treatment; assessment of national and regional pharmacotherapy patterns using existing commercial databases; assessment of national and regional trends in hypertensive complications (stroke, myocardial infarction and congestive heart failure); development of a national system based on provincial administrative data to assess the incidence, prevalence and management of diagnosed hypertension; and assessing some aspects of CHEP implementation. Preliminary data support a large increase in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension corresponding to the initiation of CHEP.
Le bref rapport suivant est une mise à jour sur l’apport du groupe de travail de la recherche sur les issues du Programme d’éducation canadien sur l’hypertension (PECH) aux efforts de surveillance et de monitorage de l’hypertension et des troubles reliés à l’hypertension au Canada. Les éléments du programme s’énumèrent comme suit : prôner des enquêtes nationales sur les mesures physiques de la tension artérielle, analyser les enquêtes nationales de population en santé transversales et longitudinales qui évaluent le diagnostic et le traitement de l’hypertension, évaluer les posologies pharmacothérapeutiques nationales et régionales à l’aide des bases de données commerciales en place, évaluer les tendances nationales et régionales de complications de l’hypertension (accident vasculaire cérébral, infarctus du myocarde et insuffisance cardiaque congestive), élaborer un système national fondé sur les données administratives provinciales afin d’évaluer l’incidence, la prévalence et la prise en charge de l’hypertension diagnostiquée et évaluer certains aspects de l’implantation du PECH. Les données provisoires confirment une forte augmentation du diagnostic et du traitement de l’hypertension, qui correspond à la formation du PECH.
