Criteria for measuring effective coverage of hypertension screening and prevention services

Target population subgroups	Intervention sets	Effectiveness criteria (Q)
Normotension	BP measurement	Receiving at least one BP measurement in a year
Pre HT	HT& CVD risk assessmenta	Receiving HT & CVD risk assessment
Suspected HT	Diagnosis confirmation	Receiving repeated BP measurement within 2 months after initial screening
Newly diagnosed HT	CVD risk assessmentb	Receiving CVD risk assessment
	Timely treatment	Receiving early treatment
	Controlling BP & risk factors	Blood pressure lower than the initial level or under control (Systolic BP < 140 mmHg and Diastolic BP < 90 mmHg) with serum lipid level better than the initial test.

^aHT&CVD risk assessment for the pre-HT group includes history taking on age, sex, diabetic, smoking, and alcohol drinking history, and physical check-up for weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure measurement

^bCVD risk assessment for newly diagnosed HT case includes blood test for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein level
