Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Elderly Women from a Family Health Unit

Maisa Bastos Moroz authored a cross-sectional study analyzing blood pressure control in 190 hypertensive elderly women from a Family Health Unit. The dataset likely contains patient records with factors like age and residence distance, used to calculate prevalence ratios and conduct logistic regression. 108 patients (56.8%) had controlled blood pressure, defined as lower than 140/90mmHg.

Use Cases

• Predicting blood pressure control likelihood based on patient age and residence distance from the healthcare facility.
• Analyzing prevalence ratios for controlled versus uncontrolled hypertension among elderly women.
• Training logistic regression models to identify factors associated with uncontrolled blood pressure in clinical settings.

Strengths

• Includes data from 190 patient records, providing a specific sample size.
• Defines a clear clinical outcome (blood pressure control) with a specific threshold of 140/90mmHg.
• Reports specific statistical findings, such as 56.8% control rate and significant p-values for age and residence distance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
