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%

Intervention Strategies for Management of Comorbid Depression Among Individuals With Hypertension: A Scoping Review [Cardiovascular disease]

Annals of Family Medicine

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

Background: Hypertension and depression frequently co-occur, complicating patient management and worsening outcomes. This scoping review aims to systematically map non-pharmacological interventions for managing comorbid hypertension and depression, providing insights into current practices and guiding future research.

The T-Connector Approach: a simultaneous method for in-office assessment of home blood pressure monitor accuracy [Hypertension]

Annals of Family Medicine

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.

Identifying Patients at High Risk for Falls using an AI/ML model [Geriatrics]

Annals of Family Medicine

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

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.

Ambulatory Behavioral Health Referral Patterns in the Setting of Chronic Medical Conditions [Behavioral, psychosocial, and mental illness]

Annals of Family Medicine

NOVEMBER 20, 2024

Early identification and intervention in behavioral aspects of chronic diseases leads to improved function with decreased healthcare utilization, yet we know little about referral patterns for behavioral support of chronic disease. Of those patients with a BH referral and a chronic condition, hypertension was the most common (n= 2,053, 51%).
