Trends of paediatric hypertension screening and management in primary care before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: A retrospective cohort study
Documentation of BP increased annually, then declined precipitously during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite lower BP screening and follow-up, the prevalence of hypertension and antihypertensive prescribing remained stable. Clinical practice trends in primary care highlight areas to improve the care and management of hypertensive paediatric patients.
