TI - Incident prescribing patterns for hypercholesterolaemia and hypertension in Scotland – recovery from the impact of COVID-19 to inform healthcare improvement
AB - Evidence from the literature indicated that approximately 500,000 diagnoses of hypertension were missed in Great Britain due to the COVID-19 pandemic, over April 2018–July 2021. However, it remains unclear if this trend of misdiagnosis/ undiagnosed cases persisted beyond July 2021 or if the healthcare system successfully caught up with these missed diagnoses. This insight is crucial, as ongoing issues would require urgent attention.
