TABLE 3.

GRAND study strength and limitation.

Strength	Limitation
1. Investigate the real BP control rate from the agreement between CBP and HBP among hypertensive patients. 2. Assessing BP control by HBPM which might reflect the real reading of BP. 3. Determine the BP and HR variability (visit‐to‐visit of CBP, day‐by‐day, morning and evening of HBP). 4. Comparison between patients’ HBP recorded digital and manual readings. 5. Association of BP control with patients’ KAP of hypertension and HBPM. 6. Correlation of BP control with patients’ characteristics among hypertension in India. 7. Association between physicians’ Instructions with BP control and patients’ characteristics. 8. Patients’ behavior change after experiencing 7 days of HBPM. 9. Prescription usage for hypertension treatment. 10. Provide new evidence of hypertension from unique demographics in India.	1. Selection Bias: participants are under hypertension treatment, and consulting with physicians. The participants are not randomized. 2. HBP measurement for 7 days only. 3. Moderate number of hypertensive patients (2,000 participant), however, the sample will be recruited from across India which might be representative of the country. 4. Recruitment centers are well‐distributed by 7 regions, however, in India, there are 29 states and 8 Union territories. This study covers less than half the number of states (12 states).
