Abstract

According to the World Health Organization (WHO),[1] an estimated 1.28 billion adults worldwide aged 30–79 years had hypertension in 2021, two-third of whom were living in low- and middle-income countries. [...]the number of hypertensive patients is high, and many of them may choose to take treatment at home instead of hospitalization; and so, giving full consideration to the will of patients when forming recommendations is the key to promote the implementation of guidelines and improve patient compliance. [...]more attention needs to be paid to the composition of the working group of comprehensive hypertension guidelines in the future. [...]we assessed both methodological and reporting quality, while most of the existing studies on hypertension guidelines evaluation were restricted to the methodological quality without evaluating the reporting quality. [...]we conducted subgroup analyses according to the key information of the guidelines to evaluate the factors affecting the methodological and reporting quality from multiple perspectives.
