Abstract

Cardiovascular Diseases Epidemiologic Methods Evidence-Based Medicine Humans Hypertension Outcome and Process Assessment (Health Care) Primary Health Care Renal Insufficiency Chronic Treatment Outcome
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a relatively recently recognised condition. People with CKD are much more likely to suffer from cardiovascular events than progress to established renal failure. Controlling systolic blood pressure should slow the progression of disease and reduce mortality and morbidity. However, no systematic review has been conducted to explore the effectiveness of quality-improvement interventions to lower blood pressure in people with CKD.
