    Introduction:

    Improving hypertension control is a national priority. Electronic health record data have the potential to augment traditional surveillance systems. This study aimed to assess hypertension prevalence and control at the state level using a previously established electronic health record–based phenotype for hypertension.

    Methods:

    Adult patients (N=11,031,368) were included from the IQVIA ambulatory electronic medical record–U.S. 2019 data set. IQVIA ambulatory electronic medical record comprises electronic health records from >100,000 providers and includes patients from every U.S. state and Washington DC. Authors compared hypertension prevalence and control estimates against those from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System 2019. Results were age-standardized and stratified by state and sociodemographic characteristics. Statistical analyses were conducted in 2022–2023.

    Results:

    IQVIA ambulatory electronic medical record–U.S. patients had a median age of 55 years, and 56.7% were women. Overall age-standardized hypertension prevalence was higher in IQVIA ambulatory electronic medical record–U.S. (35.0%) than in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (29.7%), however, state-level geographic patterns were similar, with the highest burden in the South and Appalachia. Similar patterns were also observed by sociodemographic characteristics in both data sets: hypertension prevalence was higher in older age groups (than younger), men (than women), and Black patients (than other races). Hypertension control varied widely across states: among states with >1% data coverage, control rates were lowest in Nevada (51.1%), Washington DC (52.0%), and Mississippi (55.2%); highest in Kansas (73.4%), New Jersey (72.3%), and Iowa (71.9%).

    Conclusions:

    This study provided the first-ever estimates of hypertension control for all states and Washington DC. Electronic health record–based surveillance could support hypertension prevention and control efforts at the state level.
