| Abstract |
Most cases of hypertension can be effectively treated with lifestyle changes together with medications, but within this population lies a group with more difficult to treat hypertension-those with apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH). The American Heart Association and the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence have both highlighted the need for further research into the prognosis of patients with resistant hypertension, both apparent and true. In 16 practices affiliated to a university research network, 646 patients had been identified with apparent treatment-resistant hypertension. To inform a planned full cohort study of these patients, we conducted a feasibility study within three practices to determine participation of practices and patients, availability of outcome measures and data collection times. All three practices fully participated and 205/210 (98%) patients were followed up for a median of 23 months. Thirty-five outcome events of interest occurred-the most common was the new onset of retinopathy (9 cases). Eight percent (17/210) had the main composite outcome of death or serious incident cardiovascular event. Of the six patients who died, identification of cause of death was possible from practice records in five; the national General Register Office was successfully used for the final patient. There were 123 admissions, both day and overnight, recorded in 94 individual patients. Average manual systolic blood pressure measurements improved from baseline by 5 mmHg to 138 (SD 19) mmHg; diastolic remained the same at 75 (SD 12) mmHg. Average eGFR increased from 58.8 (SD17.4) to 66 (SD19.7) mls/min/1.73m2. The average time for data collection per patient was 12 mins. This study demonstrates that the proposed methodology for a full cohort study within general practice of patients with apparent treatment hypertension is both acceptable to practices and feasible. An adequately powered subsequent follow-up study of the entire cohort appears possible. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 February 2018.
All research outputs
#4,749,641
of 23,018,998 outputs
Outputs from Pilot and Feasibility Studies
#324
of 1,047 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#106,185
of 440,328 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pilot and Feasibility Studies
#13
of 37 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,018,998 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,047 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.9. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 440,328 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 37 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
