Description:According to data collected in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), an estimated 46.1 million visits with a principal diagnosis of essential benign hypertension (EBH) were made to office-based physicians during the two-year period January 1975 through December 1976.
NAMCS is a sample survey conducted annually by the Division of Hellth Resources Utilization Statistics in the National Center forHealth Statistics. The estimates in this report are based on information recorded by participating physicians on the “Patient Record” during sampled office encounters. A facsimile of this encounter form may be found in an earlier report. 1 A brief description of the sample design and an explanation of the sampling errors associated with selected aggregate statistics may be found in the Technical Notes of this report.
