High overhead costs and high patient costs in ComHIP suggest that the societal costs of ensuring appropriate hypertension care are high and may not produce sufficient impact to achieve cost-effective implementation. However, these results are limited by the evidence quality of the effectiveness estimates, which comes from observational data rather than from randomised controlled study design.
