Abstract

Background: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is widely recommended for patients with hypertension. In Vietnam, studies on HBPM among hypertensive patients remain limited. Objective: To investigate factors associated with regular HBPM and the relationship between regular HBPM and blood pressure control at the office. Methods: An analytical cross – sectional study was conducted on 394 patients (208 regularly monitoring home blood pressure and 186 not regularly monitoring) aged ≥18 years, diagnosed with hypertension, and receiving outpatient treatment at the Outpatient Department, University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City, Branch 2, from July 2024 to December 2024. Results: Patients who regularly monitored home blood pressure had a significantly lower mean age (55,6 ± 12,6 vs. 59,0 ± 12,6, p=0,0007). Patients who did not regularly monitor home blood pressure had significantly higher rates of diabetes mellitus (35,9% vs. 24,0%, p=0,017), ischemic heart disease (58,6% vs. 40,4%, p<0.0001), and dyslipidemia (65,6% vs. 50,0%, p=0,0002) compared to those who monitored regularly. There was no significant difference in blood pressure control at the office between the two groups. Conclusions: Younger patients with fewer comorbidities were more likely to perform HBPM regularly. No significant differences in office blood pressure values were observed between the two groups.
