A Retrospective Survey to Evaluate the Impact of Hyzaar on Uric Acid in the Management of Hypertensive Patients in Normal Practice

This was a retrospective, chart review, observational study to assess the effect of MK-0954A (losartan potassium 50 mg + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg [Hyzaar(R)]) treatment for a period of at least three months on serum uric acid levels.

Study Population

Data from 33 physicians from different levels of hospitals were invited to provide information on patients who received MK-0954A and had pre- and post-treatment serum uric acid and lipid profile reports during the study period. Each physician could provide up to 30 clinical charts of patients matching the inclusion criteria for the study.

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • Participant was >20 years and <75 years of age on the index date (i.e., the date of initiating MK-0954A therapy)
  • Diagnosed with hypertension and had received MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg for at least 3 months
  • Had at least one serum uric acid measurements at baseline and one at 3 months after using MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg
  • Had the following records documented in the chart during the data collection period:

    • medical history and co-morbidities (if available)
    • sitting blood pressure, serum uric acid, lipid profile test results before and after using MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg
    • serum electrolytes, serum creatinine, and pre-meal sugar (if available)
    • prescription information of all antihypertensive regimens

Exclusion criteria:

  • Had been treated with diuretic or angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) 2 weeks before initiated treatment with MK-0954A 50/12.5 mg
  • Serum creatinine >2 mg/dL
