dc.description.abstractAim: This study was conducted to reduce target organ damage and perioperative morbidity by early diagnosis of uncontrolled hypertension, considering the morbidities associated with hypertension.Material and Methods: The data of 400 volunteer patients who met the sample eligibility criteria and applied to the anesthesiology outpatient clinic before elective surgery in Konya City Hospital were analyzed. The socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric data, and the average of two blood pressure measurements of the patients were recorded. Hypertension (HT) was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) & GE; 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) & GE; 80 mmHg. Body Mass Index (BMI) and Body Roundness Index (BMI) were calculated with the formula. They were categorized as average weight (BMI <25 kg m-2), overweight (25 & LE; BMI <30 kg m-2), and obese (BMI & GE; 30 kg m-2) according to their BMI.Results: Seven out of ten adult patients admitted to the anesthesiology outpatient clinic before elective surgery were hypertensive. While 60% of these were unaware of having HT, only 22% of those diagnosed had blood pressure under control. Discussion: As a result of our study, the high prevalence and low awareness of blood pressure indicate that hypertension is a common problem in our country. Furthermore, since HT remains a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality, preoperative evaluation of patients provides a unique opportunity to diagnose and initiate treatment.
