      <p>Trata-se de um estudo multic&#234;ntrico, de dois cortes transversais, parte do registro nacional do controle da hipertens&#227;o arterial avaliado pela medida da PAC e MRPA (Registro LHAR).</p>
      <p>A PAC considerada foi a m&#233;dia de duas medidas realizadas com aparelho oscilom&#233;trico validado da marca OMRON modelo HEM-7320 no primeiro dia do protocolo de MRPA. O mesmo equipamento foi utilizado para a MRPA. Os pacientes ou seus acompanhantes foram instru&#237;dos a realizar seis medidas di&#225;rias de PA.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> Os exames foram analisados por meio da plataforma TeleMRPA (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.telemrpa.com">www.telemrpa.com</ext-link>), ferramenta de laudo &#224; dist&#226;ncia por telemonitoramento.</p>
      <p>Dois pontos de corte foram considerados para determinar o controle da PAC: &lt; 140/90mmHg e &lt; 130/80mmHg. Para a MRPA, o ponto de corte foi &lt; 130/80mmHg.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> Embora esses valores sejam menores que os adotados pelos europeus,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> mostraram maior correla&#231;&#227;o com PAC de 140/90mmHg e associaram-se a menor risco de les&#227;o de &#243;rg&#227;o-alvo, de desfecho CV e mortalidade.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> As taxas de controle foram analisadas por sexo, grupo et&#225;rio (&#8805; 60 anos e &lt; 60 anos) e classifica&#231;&#227;o do &#205;ndice de Massa Corporal (IMC).</p>
      <p>A frequ&#234;ncia dos fen&#243;tipos da HA foi determinada nos anos de 2019 e 2020, considerando-se PAC normal &lt;140 e 90mmHg e MRPA normal &lt;130 e 80mmHg <sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> Seguem os fen&#243;tipos: 1) hipertens&#227;o controlada (HC): PAC e MRPA normais; 2) hipertens&#227;o do avental branco n&#227;o controlada (HABNC): PAC anormal e MRPA normal; 3) hipertens&#227;o mascarada n&#227;o controlada (HMNC): PAC normal e MRPA anormal; e 4) hipertens&#227;o n&#227;o controlada (HNC): PAC e MRPA anormais.</p>

      <p>Importante ressaltar que a pandemia por COVID-19 ocorreu a partir de 2020 e poderia ter impactado negativamente as taxas de controle da PA; entretanto, houve aumento das taxas de controle.

      <p>Destacam-se algumas limita&#231;&#245;es do estudo: 1) a an&#225;lise de dois cortes transversais de pacientes hipertensos, o que n&#227;o permite an&#225;lises da evolu&#231;&#227;o do tratamento; 2) n&#227;o s&#227;o conhecidos dados cl&#237;nicos mais detalhados como est&#225;gio da hipertens&#227;o arterial, presen&#231;a de comorbidades e outros fatores de risco CV; 3) n&#227;o foi poss&#237;vel a an&#225;lise do uso de medicamentos, informa&#231;&#227;o registrada em menos da metade dos pacientes e de forma incompleta. Por outro lado, destaca-se o n&#250;mero expressivo de pacientes avaliados, com amostras em 2019 e 2020 relativamente homog&#234;neas para a maioria das caracter&#237;sticas demogr&#225;ficas e cl&#237;nicas consideradas.</p>
      <p>Em conclus&#227;o, os dados avaliados revelaram aumento da taxa de controle da PA pela PAC &lt;130/80mmHg e pela MRPA em hipertensos tratados. Em 2019, foi iniciado o uso da MRPA de forma mais regular e frequente nesses consult&#243;rios, o que pode ter influenciado a pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica dos m&#233;dicos, por uma maior aten&#231;&#227;o na avalia&#231;&#227;o da PA fora do consult&#243;rio e consequente aumento nas taxas de controle da PA de 2019 para 2020. Ressalta-se tamb&#233;m que a MRPA facilita o maior engajamento do paciente ao seu tratamento, associa-se &#224; maior ades&#227;o e melhor controle da PA.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref></sup> Esses fatores em conjunto mostram importante contribui&#231;&#227;o da MRPA para aumentar as taxas de controle da PA.</p>

        <p>Blood pressure (BP) control rates are very low in Brazil and in the world, around 20% only.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> Patients with uncontrolled hypertension despite treatment remain at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality, comparably to untreated individuals.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup></p>
        <p>According to recent recommendations,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> BP control should be monitored by both office BP and out-of-office BP measurements. In this way, it is possible to determine different hypertension phenotypes,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> which is very important to determine the prognosis and individualized therapy.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup></p>
        <p>Home monitoring BP (HMBP) is the measurement of BP at home, performed by the patient or another trained person for several days, while awake, using an automated device and a pre-established protocol. HBPM has a low cost, good reproducibility, and good prognostic value. It is well accepted by patients<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> and is associated with lower therapeutic inertia and higher patient engagement and treatment compliance, especially when combined with education and counseling,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> contributing to greater CV protection.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref></sup></p>
        <p>The present study aimed to compare BP control rates between office BP and HBPM in two treated hypertensive populations. The individuals were assessed in 2019 and 2020, after the implementation of HBPM into the practice of 274 centers in five different regions of Brazil.</p>
      </sec>
      <sec sec-type="methods">
        <title>Methods</title>
        <p>This was a multicentric study, of two cross-sectional cohorts, part of the national registry of BP control, evaluated by office BP monitoring and HBPM.</p>
        <p>Office BP was considered as the mean of two measurements performed using a validated oscillometric device (OMRON, model HEM-73,20) on the first day of the HBPM protocol. The same device was used for HBPM. Patients or their caregivers were instructed to take six BP measurements daily.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref></sup> The tests were analyzed through the TeleMRPA platform (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.telemrpa.com">www.telemrpa.com</ext-link>), an instrument that allows remote BP data analysis by telemonitoring.</p>
        <p>For analysis of office BP control, two BP cutoffs were considered &#8211; &lt; 140/90mmHg and &lt; 130/80mmHg &#8211; and for HBPM, the cutoff of &lt; 130/80mmHg was used.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> Although these values are lower than those adopted by Europeans,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> they showed a higher correlation with an office BP of 140/90mmHg and were associated with lower risk of target organ damage, of CV outcomes and mortality.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref></sup> The rates of BP control were analyzed by sex, age group (&#8805; 60 years and &lt; 60 years), and body mass index (BMI) classification.</p>
        <p>The frequency of hypertension phenotypes was determined in 2019 and 2020, considering a BP &lt;140 and 90mmHg and &lt;130 and 80mmHg as normal office BP and HBPM respectively.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup> The phenotypes were classified as: 1) controlled hypertension (CH): normal office BP and HBPM; 2) white coat uncontrolled hypertension (WCUH): abnormal office BP and normal HBPM; 3) masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUH): normal office BP and abnormal HBPM; and 4) uncontrolled hypertension (UH): abnormal office BP and HBPM.</p>
        <p>All patients read and signed the informed consent form. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Federal University of Goias (CAAE 08208619.8.0000.5078). Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 27.0 (SPSS Inc.), by the Student&#8217;s t-test and the chi-square test, rejecting the null hypothesis at the 5% significance level.</p>

        <title>Results and discussion</title>
        <p>A total of 5,324 individuals were included in the study, 2,538 in 2019 and 2,786 in 2020. Most patients were women (62;2%), as frequently observed in clinical studies conducted in Brazil,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup> which probably reflects the fact that women care more about their health than men.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> Mean age of the 2020 cohort was significantly higher than the 2019 cohort. Mean systolic BP (SBP) and mean diastolic BP (DBP) were lower by HBPM than office BP (-6,6/-4,5mmHg, respectively), which is in accordance with previous studies.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup> In addition, mean DBP measured in the office and by HBPM was lower in 2020 compared with 2019, although the difference between the groups was lower than 1 mmHg (<xref ref-type="table" rid="t2">Table 1</xref>). There was no record of antihypertensive medication use in 47.7% of the cases.</p>

When the standard target (&lt; 140/90mmHg) was adopted, BP control rates were higher (57.7%) than those registered in Brazil and other countries,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref></sup> but similar to those reported in previous Brazilian studies when hypertensive patients were treated by specialists, particularly cardiologists.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup></p>

        <p>As compared with 2019, in 2020, there was an increase in the control rates for office BP &lt; 130/80 mmHg (27.2% vs. 30.2%; p&lt;0.02) and HBPM &lt; 130/80mmHg (42.4% vs. 47.5%; p&lt;0.0001) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figure 1</xref>). The SPRINT<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref></sup> (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) demonstrated that targeting lower systolic blood pressure than the standard target resulted in higher CV protection, which has been considered by the guidelines.</p>
        <p>It is worth pointing out that the COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2020, could have negatively impacted the BP control rates, and yet, an increase in the control rates was observed instead. A recent Brazilian study with more than 50,000 individuals did not find any influence of the pandemic on BP control rates, determined by office BP or HBPM.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref></sup></p>
        <p>Elderly patients usually show greater difficulty in controlling their BP,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> and in the present study an increase in BP control rates by office BP &lt;130/80mmHg and HBPM was observed in older patients. Studies with older hypertensive patients have emphasized the benefits of greater reductions in BP on CV protection.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref></sup> Also, obesity is a condition that has a large impact on BP,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> and we found an increase in BP control rates from 2019 to 2020, by both office BP and HBPM. These data reinforce the importance of evaluating BP by both methods.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
        <p>In the total sample, the distribution of hypertension significantly changed from 2019 to 2020, with increases in the rates of CH and WCUH, and reductions in MUH and UH (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Figure 2</xref>). Therefore, the percentage distribution of the phenotypes improved from one year to the next, even adopting more strict cut-off criteria for HBPM. In addition, the phenotype distribution revealed higher rates of MUH and lower rates of WCUH than those estimated by the 2020 Brazilian Guidelines on Hypertension<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> and those reported in a Brazilian study with 6,500 patients,<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref></sup> which may be explained by the use of a lower cut-off point for HBPM.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref></sup></p>

        <p>Some limitations should be noted: 1) the analysis of two cross sectional cohort of hypertensive patients precludes the evaluation of treatment course; 2) more detailed clinical data of the patients are not known, including the stage of hypertension, the presence of comorbidities and other CV risk factors; 3) data on medication use were available (and incomplete) in less than half of patients. On the other hand, one strength of this study was the sample size, with relatively homogeneous cohorts in 2019 and 2020 for most of demographic and clinical features evaluated.</p>
        <p>In conclusion, the data from this study revealed an increase in BP control rates using both office BP &lt;130/80mmHg and HBPM in treated hypertensive patients. In 2019, HBPM was implemented to be used more frequently, and in a regular manner. This may have influenced the practice of physicians, towards greater attention to the measurement of BP levels out of the office, with a consequent increase in the rates of BP control from 2019 to 2020. In addition, HBPM has improved patient engagement in treatment, and has been associated with higher compliance and better blood pressure control.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref></sup> Altogether, these data demonstrate the important contribution of HBPM in increasing the rates of BP control.</p>
