    Author: Konrad TR, Howard DL, Edwards LJ, Ivanova A, Carey TS.
    Journal: Am J Public Health; 2005 Dec; 95(12):2186-90. PubMed ID: 16257949.
    Abstract:
    To assess the effects of physician-patient racial concordance and continuity of care on hypertension outcomes, we described patterns of care for hypertension; we used cross-tabulations and repeated measures (generalized estimating equations) analyses with panel survey data from elderly persons interviewed and examined in 1987 and 1990. Continuity of care was associated with recognition of hypertension, receipt of medication, and lower incidence of undetected hypertension. Physician race had little effect, but continuity is important for successful management of hypertension in older persons.
