However, one group, women with hypertensive disorders pregnancy (HDP), curiously omitted. All are screened for pregnancy, each year 5–10% diagnosed HDP. These have a lifelong increased cardiovascular disease (CVD). is not merely concern older age Disturbingly, there doubling events first ten years following pregnancy. multiplied by five times if HDP early onset.2 ramifications often unrecognised as blood pressure usually normalises within weeks delivery needs newborn quickly supersede those mother.

Abstract Objective To quantify the costs of hypertension diagnosis and treatment in Australia, particularly primary care, including general practices pharmacies. Study design Economic analysis; analysis Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) Medicare Schedule (MBS) data. Setting 2012–22. Main outcome measure Estimated expenditure on care (adjusted to 2022 Australian dollars), overall by type (general practice consultations, medications), cost bearer (PBS, MBS, patient out‐of‐pocket costs), broad category (medication costs, pharmacy ambulatory blood pressure monitoring). Results During 2012–22, estimated total for Australia was $12.2 billion: $7.3 billion (60%) borne MBS PBS, $4.9 (40%) patients as costs. 2021–22, an $1.2 spent management hypertension; three main components were pharmacy‐related (administration handling fees, dispensing electronic prescription fees: $611.1 million, 50.8%), consultations ($342.7 28.5%), pressure‐lowering medications (manufacturer wholesale costs: $244.3 20.3%). Conclusions about 40% managing directly (about $494 million per year). Important changes supply payment policies introduced 2023, but further efforts may be needed reduce patients. These are important if control rate is substantially improved given large numbers undertreated untreated people with hypertension.
