Predicting the Absence and Gaps in Recorded Blood Pressure Follow-up Among Patients With Hypertension

Background: Electronic health record (EHR) data can help identify patients who would benefit from blood pressure reassessment after an elevated reading. Objective: To develop and internally validate a model to predict the absence of a recorded blood pressure measurement after an elevated reading among adults with hypertension; evaluate the potential yield of targeted outreach and model performance across subgroups; and determine whether recorded contact patterns provide additional information for predicting subsequent cardiovascular hospitalization. Methods: This retrospective cohort study use
