“…Among such studies, it is possible to mention Souza 14 , who found, in the city of Campo Grande, State of Mato Grosso do Sul, the treatment of 57.3% and control in 39.5%; Pereira 13 , who found, in the city of Tubarão, State of Santa Catarina, 10.1% of control among 46.8% of hypertensive patients undergoing treatment; and Gus 15 , in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, who found control in 10.4%. Even in specialized services, the control rates are below desired levels, as reported by Barbosa 22 and Freitas 23 , who found, in centers of cardiology and nephrology, less than 25% of hypertensive patients being controlled. This study shows normal final BP in 36.6% and control in 12.8% of treated individuals, without any differences between conventional PHCUs and family health strategy (FHS) PHCUs, contrary to expectations of better results in FHS PHCUs, due to the supposedly closer relationship of the professionals with the community.…”
