As-Needed Blood Pressure Medication and Adverse Outcomes in VA Hospitals
The results of this retrospective cohort study showed that as-needed BP medication use among veterans is associated with increased AKI risk. The risks and benefits of this type of BP medication use would best be determined through a prospective trial, and these data suggest that there is the necessary equipoise to conduct such a trial.
