Risk factors for hypertensive emergencies
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017-07-22) Angulo Saboya, Carolina; Torres Dávila, Kety Magali; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: To systematize the available evidence on the risk factors for hypertensive emergencies. Materials and Methods: A systematic review aims to gather all empirical evidence that meets previously established eligibility criteria to answer a specific research question. It uses systematic and explicit methods chosen to minimize bias, thus providing more reliable results from which conclusions can be drawn and decisions can be made. Results: Seven scientific articles were reviewed, with the main topic being risk factors for hypertensive emergencies and/or crises. These were found in the following databases: Pubmed, Scielo, Medline. All of them correspond to systematic review and meta-analysis studies (1), cohort (1), case-control (1), and cross-sectional studies (4). Seventy percent of the articles identified smoking as the primary risk factor associated with hypertensive emergencies. Sixty-five percent of the articles agree on alcoholism, sixty percent on obesity, and fifty percent on advanced age as other linked risk factors. Conclusions: The risk factors for hypertensive emergencies are alcoholism, obesity, and advanced age (≥ 65 years).
