Abstract P443: Multiple Chronic Conditions in Older Adults: Implications for Clinical Trials & Guidelines in Hypertension Session Title: Hypertension and Aging and Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke
Conclusions: HTN impacts ~82% of older adults with a higher burden of MCC, and ~75% (27,324/36,533) of Medicare beneficiaries with HTN have a large burden of MCCs. Behavioral health diagnosis, associated with adverse outcomes and costs, are common with MCCs. Clinical care, outcomes and costs for older adults with HTN and MCCs could improve with more representative inclusion in clinical trials and translation through integrated clinical guidelines developed by multi-specialty/disciplinary teams.
