Systemic hypertensionTrends in the Prevalence of Hospitalization Attributable to Hypertensive Diseases Among United States Adults Aged 35 and Older From 1980 to 2007
Section snippets
Methods
The NHDS is conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Details of the NHDS have been described elsewhere.8 Briefly, the NHDS provides national estimates of hospital use on the basis of data from patients discharged from noninstitutional hospitals (exclusive of federal, military, and Veterans Administration hospitals) located in the 50 States and District of Columbia. Only short-stay hospitals (average length of stay of <30 days for all patients) or general (medical or
Results
Table 1 lists the significant differences in mean age and prevalence of hospitalized patients with first and any second to seventh diagnosis of hypertensive disease, except for women and those living in the Midwest region of the United States with the first diagnosis of hypertensive disease from 1980 to 1981 to 2006 to 2007.
Age-adjusted prevalence rates of hypertensive disease with first diagnosis increased from 1.74% in 1980 to 1981 to 2.06% in 2006 to 2007 in men (p = 0.003), and from 2.00%
Discussion
The present study has 4 principal findings: (1) the prevalence of hospitalized patients with first diagnosis of hypertensive disease significantly increased in men from 1980 to 2007 (an annual 1.44% increase), (2) the annual percent increases in hospitalized patients with any second to seventh diagnosis of hypertensive disease significantly increased in men (6.44%) and women (5.64%) from 1980 to 2007, (3) patients with co-morbid hypertensive CKD rapidly increased in men (an annual 5.54%

2021, NefrologiaCitation Excerpt :The prevalence of in-patient hypertension ranges from 50.5% to 70.2% with hypertension defined as ≥140/90 mm Hg or mean 24-h BP > 125/80 mm Hg.1 The age adjusted prevalence of hypertension as a secondary diagnosis in hospitalised patients aged 35 years or older is estimated to be around 35% in men and 32% in women.2 The treatment decisions for hypertension management in the hospital are usually based on extrapolation of evidence-based guidelines intended for ambulatory patients.

2016, Hospital Medicine ClinicsCitation Excerpt :What is the prevalence of HTN in hospitalized patients? Management of HTN largely occurs in the outpatient setting; however, data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) estimates age-adjusted rates of hospitalization for the primary diagnosis of HTN are approximately 2.1%, whereas for the secondary diagnosis of HTN are approximately 32% to 35%.4,5 In absolute terms, the 2010 NHDS reported 488,000 inpatient discharges with HTN listed as the primary diagnosis.4
