Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

If you are currently taking antihypertensive medication (medicine for high blood pressure), you cannot participate in this trial. The trial does not specify about other medications, so it's best to discuss with the trial team.

What data supports the effectiveness of the PedsBP CDS treatment for high blood pressure?

The PedsBP CDS tool has been shown to help primary care clinicians better recognize high blood pressure in children, which is important for early treatment and reducing future heart disease risk.12345

How does the PedsBP CDS Tool for High Blood Pressure differ from other treatments?

The PedsBP CDS Tool is unique because it likely involves a clinical decision support system that uses automated blood pressure measurement technology, which is different from traditional manual methods. This approach may provide more accurate and consistent blood pressure readings, helping to improve the management of high blood pressure in children.26789

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of the PedsBP CDS research project is to adapt a previously tested web-based clinical decision support tool that appropriately identifies high blood pressure in youth for use in a primarily rural health system and compare approaches to CDS implementation in 45 primary care clinics treating children in 3 upper Midwest states. This project will advance implementation science and address a critical need for youth at risk for cardiovascular disease and with limited access to pediatric subspecialty care.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • PedsBP CDS
Trial Overview The study tests a web-based tool called PedsBP CDS designed to identify high blood pressure in youth. It will be implemented in rural primary care clinics across three states to see how well it works and the best way to introduce it.
Participant Groups
3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Low-Intensity ImplementationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Providers and patients in the low-intensity arm will have access to the PedsBP clinical decision support tool and will receive standard training and training resources using the health systems standard training platform.
Group II: High-Intensity ImplementationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Providers and patients in the high-intensity arm will have access to the PedsBP clinical decision support tool and will receive enhanced training and training resources, and regular feedback from the project team regarding CDS use rates.
Group III: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Providers and patients assigned to control arm clinics will engage in the current standard of care, without access to the PedsBP clinical decision support tool.

Findings from Research

The MeasureBP study group is working to establish evidence-based equivalences between automated blood pressure measurement (BPM) and standardized manual measurements, addressing a significant gap in hypertension management.
By synthesizing existing research and conducting meta-analyses, the study aims to provide clear treatment targets and thresholds for automated BPM, which could enhance the effectiveness of hypertension guidelines.

The SMART-BP trial is evaluating the effectiveness of a mobile app (SMBP-App) that provides tailored recommendations for blood pressure management compared to standard self-monitoring of blood pressure (SMBP) in 180 patients with hypertension over a 24-week period.
The primary goal is to determine if the SMBP-App can lead to greater reductions in mean home systolic blood pressure and improve medication adherence compared to SMBP alone.
