Patients were connected to an ambulatory BP monitoring device between 08:00 h and 10:00 h (WatchBP O3 ambulatory BP monitor, Microlife Corp., Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC; Medical Device License 004574 by Ministry of Health and Welfare). The device was programmed to record the BP every 15 min between 06:00 h and 22:00 h (daytime BP) and every 30 min from 22:00 h to 06:00 h (night‐time BP). The average of all the SBP/DBP readings was the 24‐h SBP/DBP, and the daytime and night‐time average SBP/DBP were also calculated. Normal dipping pattern presents nocturnal BP fall between 10% and 20%.
Hem 7121
The HEM-7121 is an electronic blood pressure monitor designed for home use. It is capable of automatically measuring and displaying the user's blood pressure and pulse rate. The device features an easy-to-read digital display and uses the oscillometric method to obtain measurements.

Standardized Blood Pressure Measurement Protocol
Patients were connected to an ambulatory BP monitoring device between 08:00 h and 10:00 h (WatchBP O3 ambulatory BP monitor, Microlife Corp., Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC; Medical Device License 004574 by Ministry of Health and Welfare). The device was programmed to record the BP every 15 min between 06:00 h and 22:00 h (daytime BP) and every 30 min from 22:00 h to 06:00 h (night‐time BP). The average of all the SBP/DBP readings was the 24‐h SBP/DBP, and the daytime and night‐time average SBP/DBP were also calculated. Normal dipping pattern presents nocturnal BP fall between 10% and 20%.
Simultaneous Blood Pressure Measurement
In the experiments, the stable blood pressures of the subjects were measured simultaneously using the experimental sofa and a cuff-type blood pressure monitor (HEM-7121, Omron, Kyoto, Japan) after the subjects were given a sufficient rest. The blood pressure was measured five times at intervals of 1 min.
Measuring Hypertension Treatment and Control
The outcome variables for the present study were MO for the treatment and control of HT. The prevalence of missed opportunity for the treatment of HT was defined as the proportion of untreated individuals among the self-reported hypertensive cases who reported that they are not hypertensive but in biometric measurement were found to be hypertensive, and had visited a public or private health facility in the preceding 12 months. On the other hand, the prevalence of MO for the control of HT was defined as the proportion of individuals with uncontrolled HT, among all the hypertensive cases, who had been consuming antihypertensive drugs at the time of the survey and had visited a public or private health facility in the preceding 12 months (See Fig. 1).

[ 15 ] This was followed by recording of blood pressure with a calibrated standard blood pressure monitor (Omron HEM7121), weight by a calibrated digital weighing machine (Equinox), height, and waist circumference with a constant tension tape. After this, the participants were handed over a sterile urine culture bottle for collection of early morning urine sample the next day.

Pharmacist-Led Health Coaching and BP Control
To support the outcomes of the dynamic SOC charts, health coaching participants also completed the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) questionnaire, a validated self-report adherence scale [26 (link)]. The ARMS scale contains twelve questions to assess a participant’s medication adherence, which are divided into two categories, adherence with taking medications (eight items) and adherence with refilling prescriptions (four items). Each question is scored on a 4-point scale: 1 = none; 2 = some; 3 = most; 4 = all. Possible scores range from 12 to 48, with a lower score indicating greater adherence. The twelve-item scale has high internal consistency overall (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.80) [27 (link)]. The internal consistency of ARMS in this study was calculated to be 0.74.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
