Blood pressure intervention/intensive blood pressure intervention vs placebo/standard blood pressure intervention

Adverse events: hypotension · type 1 or type 2 diabetics

Blood pressure intervention/intensive blood pressure intervention may leads to higher adverse events—hypotension compared with placebo/standard blood pressure intervention (low certainty).

Antihypertensive drug therapy vs control

Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity Mean duration of 3.7 years · adults aged 18‐59 years with primary hypertension (mild to moderate systolic or diastolic hypertension)

Antihypertensive drug therapy may leads to lower total cardiovascular mortality + morbidity compared with control (low certainty).

Antihypertensive drug therapy vs control

Withdrawals due to adverse events · adults aged 18‐59 years with primary hypertension (mild to moderate systolic or diastolic hypertension)

It is very uncertain whether antihypertensive drug therapy changes withdrawal due to adverse events compared with control (very low certainty).
