Mortality, CVD related-mortality, CKD-related mortality
MI, HF, hospitalization-HF
Coronary or other revascularization
ESRD
▪ KF resulting in dialysis or transplantation, doubling of Cr value, halving

In adults with HTN,
 Does initiating antihypertensive drug therapy at
specific BP thresholds improve health outcomes?
 Does treatment with antihypertensive drug
therapy to a specified goal lead to improvement in
health outcomes?
 Do various antihypertensive drugs or drug classes
differ in comparative benefits and harms on
specific health outcomes?
