Shorter duration of hypertension history is an independent predictor of hypertension remission following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, with each additional year of history decreasing the odds of remission by approximately 15%.

If you are considering bariatric surgery to get off blood pressure medication, the length of time you have had high blood pressure matters. The study shows that for every year you wait, your chances of successfully stopping medication drop by about 15%. This suggests that addressing hypertension early, or seeking surgical options sooner rather than later, offers the best chance for remission.

Na análise multivariada, o tempo de história de HAS mostrou-se um preditor independente da remissão da HAS (OR: 0,85; 95% IC: 0,70-0,97; p=0,04). Portanto, estes dados sugerem que, a cada 1 ano a mais no tempo de HAS, a chance de remissão diminui em cerca de 15%.

Why this rating

Based on a randomized controlled trial (GATEWAY) with multivariate analysis, though the remission rate was moderate (39%).
