Stroke and ischaemic attack: blood pressure (80 years and over) (IND244)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients aged 80 years or over with a history of stroke or TIA in whom the last blood pressure reading (measured in the preceding 12 months) is less than 145/85 mmHg if using ambulatory or home monitoring, or less than 150/90 mmHg if monitored in clinic. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM228
