ADVERSE EFFECTS
The PERHIT-project was approved by the Regional Ethics Review Board in Lund (2017/311 and 2019/00036). Self-monitoring of BP at home could potentially stir feelings of anxiety or result in obsessional measuring. It was also possible that participants felt controlled or supervised during the intervention. However, the potential benefits of using the system were judged to exceed these potential adverse effects. Changes in vital signs were monitored at the local PHCC according to clinical routines.The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03554382).The CONSORT checklist was followed to ensure scientific rigour in reporting the trial.
