We hypothesized that multiple uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors would decrease blood pressure BP medication intensification among uncontrolled hypertensive patients. Methods We observed 946 encounters at two VA primary care clinics from May through August 2006. After each encounter clinicians recorded BP medication intensification BP medication was added or titrated . Demographic clinical and laboratory information were collected from the medical record. We examined BP medication intensification by presence and control of diabetes and or hyperlipidemia. Uncontrolled was defined as hemoglobin A1c for diabetes BP 140 90 mmHg 130 80 mmHg if diabetes present for hypertension and low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-c 130 mg dl 100 mg dl if diabetes present for hyperlipidemia. Hierarchical regression models accounted for patient clustering and adjusted medication intensification for age systolic BP and number of medications. Results Among 387 patients with uncontrolled hypertension had diabetes were uncontrolled and had hyperlipidemia were uncontrolled . The BP medication intensification rate was overall but higher in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and uncontrolled hyperlipidemia overall and if systolic BP 10 mmHg above goal. Intensification rates were lowest if diabetes or hyperlipidemia were controlled lower than if diabetes or hyperlipidemia were not .
