Differentiated Effects and Determinants of Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring: Three-Year Cohort Study in Jieshou, Anhui, China.

HBPT had major and "target-converging" effects on SBP/DBP. The magnitude of changes was much greater than commonly reported. BP, variation in BP, and time were the most important determinants of HBPT uptake. Age, education, duration of hypertension, family history, and diagnosis of hypertension complications were also linked to the uptake but at weaker strength. There is a clear need for differentiated thinking over the application and assessment of HBPT, and for identifying and correcting/leveraging potential outdated/new opportunities or beliefs.
