Abstract:
A retrospective analysis (over the last five years) was carried out on 222 randomly selected
outpatient records from among patients undergoing dispensary observation with arterial
hypertension in family clinics (n=54) and in a number of rural family clinics of the Republic of
Uzbekistan (n=168). Data from a retrospective analysis of outpatient records were compared with
the results of examination of patients (questioning, examination, anthropometry, blood pressure
measurement, cholesterol determination, etc.). Doctors from family clinics in Tashkent and rural
family clinics in the regions of the Republic were interviewed. Before training, 156 doctors were
surveyed, after training 119, and 236 patients undergoing follow-up with hypertension were
surveyed and examined. Subsequently, some of them (n=122, main group) completed an
awareness course at a health school, and some (n=114, comparison group) did not participate in
the educational program. All patients were monitored for 2 years with subsequent re-examination
and examination
