Systemic High Blood Pressure (SHBP) is considered to be one of the today s most prevalent health issues. Arterial Hypertension is estimated to affect approximately 22% of the Brazilian population over twenty years old, and it accounts for 80% of the stroke cases, 60% of the acute myocardial infarction cases and 40% of early retirements. Furthermore, it implies in a cost of R$ 475 million intended to pay 1.1 million hospitalizations a year. Therefore, a hypertensive user s follow up is of fundamental importance to guarantee treatment success. The low adherence (lack of following up) interferes negatively in the treatment outcomes of chronic diseases, thus increasing costs and representing a significant public health problem in Brazil. In such a context, this study aimed to compare systemic blood pressure levels for the period 2006-2009 from hypertensive users registered in HIPERDIA system (2006/2007) according to their follow up status, as well as to verify risk factors associated with blood pressure levels at Family Health Units in Joao Pessoa, PB. This is an observational, retrospective cohort study. The sample represented the population of hypertensives registered in the family health units and consisted of 343 users. Data were gathered between November 1st 2009 and may 31st 2011 through a questionnaire. From that sample, only 333 hypertensive users were studied (because of information losses) and divided according to their follow up status in the unit (totally monitored, totally not monitored, monitored in 2008/not monitored in 2009 and not monitored in 2008/monitored in 2009). Individual Pressure information was collected in the following moments: registration (2006 /2007), medical chart (2008) and interview (2009). Were also observed aspects concerning to sociodemographic characteristics and risk factors. It was verified that pressure averages observed in users classified as totally monitored and in users classified as monitored 2008/not monitored 2009 were lower than those for the totally not monitored group in the chart and interview moments. But, when pressure levels behavior of these groups (2006-2009) was observed, results have shown significant difference only for the totally not monitored group, however, the levels were found to be increasing throughout the time. Analysis through multiple logistic regression between pressure reduction and the variables allowed generating models to verify the characteristics which contributed to the reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the totally monitored and totally not monitored groups. The results of this study permitted assessing the quality of information found both in the HIPERDIA system and in the medical chart of hypertensive users who went to the units in order to have their health conditions taken care. Some questions were raised to aware health managers regarding decision-making on improvements in the quality of assistance provided to users of such sort of service.
