NCT ID NCT05002322
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a low-cost tool to help health workers in Mozambique better diagnose and manage high blood pressure in people with HIV. The tool uses cycles of evaluation and improvement to streamline care. Researchers worked with 18 health facilities to see if this approach could be scaled up across the country.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Systems Analysis and Improvement Approach (SAIA-HTN) - a quality improvement tool for health facilities
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help integrate hypertension care into HIV clinics in low-resource settings, improving blood pressure control for many patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (18 facilities) focused on feasibility, not a large trial. Results may not apply to other regions or populations.
