10.1.6 Hypertension
10.1.6.1 Diagnosed and Modelled Prevalence
The prevalence of diagnosed hypertension is given in section 10.1.1.2 on page 434 for
each general practice in Hull for 2009/10. Table 220 presents the prevalence of
diagnosed hypertension for 2009/10 for Hull and comparator areas (see section 3.3.3
on page 44), as well as for England. The rate in Hull is one of the lowest of the
comparators with only Leicester City having a lower prevalence.

The number of patients with diagnosed hypertension and the prevalence as recorded on
the GP QOF disease registers over time is illustrated in Table 221 for 2004/05 to
2009/10. The latest list size refers to the registered population as at 1 st January 2010,
but the number and prevalence on the disease register is as at 31 st March 2010 (the
same definitions used in QOF), and this means that the prevalence can be biased if
large population changes have occurred over this three month period (e.g. Y02747,
Y02786, Y02896 and Y02748 all opened between 5 th October 2009 and 11 th January
2010). The latest list size for B81676 (Dr PN Jones) relates to 2004/05 and the latest
list size for B81668 (Dr EG Stryjakiewicz) relates to 2006/07. Some practices were not
in existence for all the years so information is not applicable (N/A).
