{"doi":"10.1093/ajh/hpaf100","title":"Primary Care Usage Among Adults With Self-Reported Hypertension: United States, 2023","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Approximately half of US adults have hypertension, with only 1 in 4 having it controlled. Regular visits to primary care can assist with managing hypertension. We estimated the number of US adults aged ≥18 years with self-reported hypertension reporting primary care visits within the last year. METHODS: Using the 2023 National Health Interview Survey, we identified respondents who reported a hypertension diagnosis. Among this population, we calculated the percentage and numbers who reported primary care visits in the last year by select demographic and socioeconomic covariates. RESULTS: Our analytical sample of 10,953 US adults with self-reported hypertension represented 81.9 million adults nationally. Overall, 91.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90.7%, 92.3%) of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported primary care visits in the last year, representing 75 million nationally. Adults aged 18-44 years had the lowest proportion of visits to primary care by age, 82.3% (95% CI: 79.0%, 85.3%). Males (90.1%, 95% CI: 88.8%, 91.3%) were less likely than females (93.1%, 95% CI: 92.1%, 94.0%) to report visits. Among those with no insurance coverage, only 79.8% (95% CI: 75.3%, 83.8%) reported primary care visits in the last year. CONCLUSIONS: Over 90% of US adults with self-reported hypertension reported a primary care visit in the previous year, representing important opportunities to manage hypertension.","journal":"American Journal of Hypertension","year":2025,"id":544664,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":1,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.739,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2025-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":772338,"name":"Adam S.
