Despite clear evidence of the benefits of lowering blood pressure among patients with hypertension, the treatment rate remains< 40% worldwide. In the present trial, we aimed to investigate the effects of the early promotion of clinic visits among patients with untreated hypertension detected during annual health checkups. This was a worksite-based, parallel group, cluster-randomized trial with blinded outcome assessment. Employees of 152 Japanese supermarket stores found to have untreated hypertension (blood pressure levels≥ 160/100 mmHg) during health checkups were assigned to an early promotion group (encouraged to visit a clinic in face-to-face interviews and provided with a referral letter to a physician as well as a leaflet) or a control group (received usual care), according to random assignment. The primary outcome was the completion of a clinic visit within 6 months. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals for the early promotion group versus the control group were estimated using multilevel logistic regression with random effects of clusters. A total of 273 participants (mean age 50.3 years, 55% women) from 107 stores were assigned to the early promotion group (138 from 55 stores) or control group (135 from 52 stores). During the 6-month follow-up, 47 (34.1%) participants in the early promotion group visited a clinic, as did 26 (19.3%) in the control group (odds ratio 2.33, 95% confidence interval 1.12-4.84, P= 0.024). Early promotion using a referral letter during health checkups significantly increased the number of clinic visits within 6 months completed by participants with untreated hypertension (UMIN000025411).
