NCT ID NCT03678207
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if telling surgery patients about their high blood pressure would lead them to get a formal diagnosis. Researchers planned to call 108 patients with elevated readings and follow up six months later. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no conclusions can be drawn.
