Using Machine Learning to advance primary care: an example of predictive modeling of hypertension risk to impact outcomes [Hypertension]

Annals of Family Medicine

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

Context: While hypertension is the most common chronic disease cared for during adult primary care visits, it is challenging to know which hypertensive patients have the highest risk of cardiovascular complications in the future. Population Studied: LVHN has 107,851 adult out-patients with hypertension, and 66.4%

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

Context Hypertension Canada recommends home blood pressure monitors (HBPM) for diagnosing and managing hypertension. Setting Kaye Edmonton Clinic Family Medicine Clinic and a hypertension research lab. there appears to be reasonable utility for using a T-Connector to qualitatively declare a HBPM to be inaccurate for its user.

Overtreatment of hypertension has been identified as a major risk factor for putting patients at risk for falls in patients with low blood pressures. Study Design: Secondary data analysis created a machine learning model that identified high risk patients potentially over treated for hypertension placing them at higher fall risk.
