OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the diagnosis, monitoring and control of hypertension in reformed primary care centres in Catalonia, on the basis of the evaluation indicators proposed in the primary care hypertension guidelines. DESIGN: Multi-centre cross-sectional descriptive study.Setting. Primary care.Participants. 31 reformed PCC in Catalonia. Randomised sampling of centres and hypertense patients (n = 2240). External audit. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: a) Diagnosis indicator: in 19.4% of cases a triple double-take of blood pressure showed an average of = 140/90 mmHg. b) Monitoring indicator: 77.9% of patients had been seen for blood pressure in the previous 6 months. c) Indicator of degree of control of blood pressure: 38.8% of patients had pressure below the figures then recommended ((3/4) 65 < 140/90 mmHg, and > 65, < 160/95 mmHg). 25.7% of cases were found to have blood pressure figures < 140/90 mmHg. CONCLUSIONS: There was high compliance on the monitoring indicator. The degree of control of hypertense patients treated at reformed PCCs is still low.
