Journal ArticleDOI
Global burden of hypertension: analysis of worldwide data
Patricia M. Kearney,Patricia M. Kearney,Megan Whelton,Kristi Reynolds,Paul Muntner,Paul K. Whelton,Jiang He +6 more
TL;DR: The overall prevalence and absolute burden of hypertension in 2000 and the global burden in 2025 were estimated to be about 1.56 billion (1.54-1.58 billion) and the number of adults with hypertension in 2025 was predicted to increase by about 60% respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of cholesterol-lowering treatment: prospective meta-analysis of data from 90,056 participants in 14 randomised trials of statins.
Colin Baigent,Anthony C Keech,Patricia M. Kearney,L Blackwell,Georgina Buck,Christine Pollicino,Adrienne Kirby,T Sourjina,Richard Peto,Rory Collins,R. J. Simes +10 more
TL;DR: Statin therapy can safely reduce the 5-year incidence of major coronary events, coronary revascularisation, and stroke by about one fifth per mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol, largely irrespective of the initial lipid profile or other presenting characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aspirin in the primary and secondary prevention of vascular disease: collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data from randomised trials.
Colin Baigent,Lisa Blackwell,Rory Collins,Jonathan Emberson,Jon Godwin,Richard Peto,Julie E. Buring,Charles H. Hennekens,Patricia M. Kearney,Tom W. Meade,Carlo Patrono,Maria Carla Roncaglioni,Alberto Zanchetti +12 more
TL;DR: In primary prevention without previous disease, aspirin is of uncertain net value as the reduction in occlusive events needs to be weighed against any increase in major bleeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global Disparities of Hypertension Prevalence and Control: A Systematic Analysis of Population-Based Studies From 90 Countries.
Katherine T. Mills,Joshua D. Bundy,Tanika N. Kelly,Jennifer E. Reed,Patricia M. Kearney,Kristi Reynolds,Jing Chen,Jiang He +7 more
TL;DR: Global hypertension disparities are large and increasing and collaborative efforts are urgently needed to combat the emerging hypertension burden in low- and middle-income countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of cholesterol-lowering therapy in 18,686 people with diabetes in 14 randomised trials of statins: a meta-analysis.
Patricia M. Kearney,Lisa Blackwell,Rory Collins,Anthony C Keech,John Simes,Richard Peto,Jane Armitage,Colin Baigent +7 more
TL;DR: Among people with diabetes the proportional effects of statin therapy were similar irrespective of whether there was a prior history of vascular disease and irrespective of other baseline characteristics and should be considered for all diabetic individuals who are at sufficiently high risk of vascular events.
