Background
Rates of blood pressure (BP) control in patients with CKD vary considerably worldwide. How differences in patient characteristics and antiHT treatment regimens relate to patterns of BP control is uncertain.
Methods
We used data from 14 studies participating in iNET-CKD, including 34,901 patients with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 and HT (defined as either BP ≥140/90 mmHg or antiHT drug use) to compare the prevalence of uncontrolled BP (≥140/90) across 16 countries using adjusted observed to expected prevalence ratios (PR).
Results
Rates of uncontrolled BP varied from 28% to 61% (Figure 1). After adjusting for age, gender, DM, and GFR, prevalence ratios remained higher in cohorts from continental Europe, India, and Uruguay. AntiHT use varied from 54% to 87% for RAAS inhibitors, 11% to 76% for diuretics, 26% to 75% for Ca channel blockers, and 22% to 68% for beta-blockers. In 8 out of 15 studies, >50% of patients with uncontrolled BP received <3 antiHT drugs. The number of prescribed antiHT classes was higher in cohorts from North America and Germany.
Conclusion
Global variation in BP control is only partly explained by patient characteristics. Heterogeneity of antiHT treatment practices may also play a role and would be potentially modifiable.
