TL;DR: Self-monitoring alone is not associated with lower BP or better control, but in conjunction with co-interventions leads to clinically significant BP reduction which persists for at least 12 months.

TL;DR: Tucker et al. as discussed by the authors performed an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis to better understand the effectiveness of BP self-monitoring to lower BP and control hypertension, and found that selfmonitoring alone is not associated with lower BP or better control, but in conjunction with co-interventions (including systematic medication titration by doctors, pharmacists, or patients; education; or lifestyle counselling) leads to clinically significant BP reduction which persists for at least 12 months.
