Participant Flow

Patients \>= 18 years old who presented in ED with systolic BP \>=180 mmHg and diastolic BP \>= 100 mmHg were enrolled. The patients with minor chief complaints that were not related to severe hypertension or those who presented to hospital for routine outpatient visits and were referred to ED due to severe hypertension were included.

Measure
High SBP+Antihypertensive Meds
Patients with pre-discharge systolic blood pressure at discharge \< 180 mmHg Antihypertensive meds: Antihypertensive medications will be given to newly-diagnosed or non-compliant cases. The additional oral antihypertensive drugs instruction to adjust their current regimens will be given to the patients with underlying hypertension for more BP control. The choices of drugs will be at discretion of treating physicians.
Severely High SBP+Antihypertensive Meds
Patients with pre-discharge systolic blood pressure at discharge \>= 180 mmHg Antihypertensive meds: Antihypertensive medications will be given to newly-diagnosed or non-compliant cases. The additional oral antihypertensive drugs instruction to adjust their current regimens will be given to the patients with underlying hypertension for more BP control. The choices of drugs will be at discretion of treating physicians.
