L29 HYPERTENSIONCONTROLAND OUTCOMES AMONGMEDICAIDBENEFICIARIESIN THE STROKEBELT D.T. Lackleod*, E. H. Corley,B.M. Egarr*,W.P. Bailey, MedicalUniversityof SouthCeroliW Charleston,S.C. Hypertensionand relatedcomplicationshavebeen shownto be inverselyassociatedwith socio-econornicstatus. Medicaidpatients,by definition,quali~ as low economic status. Therefore,the 670,000South CarolinaMedicBid beneficiariesduringtlom 1991-93were analyzedto determinehealthoutcomesassociatedwith hypertension. Appropriatecare can be describedffomthe numberof officevisits,treatmentend indicatorsof compliance,such es prescriptionrefills,etc. The effectivenessof hypertension treatmentfor the Medicaid population iscomplicated as only 46°/0 ofthebeneficiaries,45 yearsend older,ware continuouslycoveredduringthe time period.Further complicatinghypertensiontreatmentwas the significantuse of emergencyrooms for hypertensionfor this population: males24/1000,females44/1000.Assessmentof adverse hypertension-relatedoutcomesidentified bigherrisks of diseasedeterminedby hospitalizationsfor stroke, congestive heart failureand hypertension.This anrdyticalassessment includesthe associationof appropriatetreatmentand hypertension-relatedoutcomesin the at-risk population. The results of these analysesidentifi the particularburden of uncontrolledhighblood pressurein this low socioeconomicpopulation,and suggestthat more effective measures(includingcontinuityof care in a primarycare setting)for hypertensioncontrolcould significantlyreduce complicationsand costs.
