Nice systematic review on the impact of attendance on AOBP...turns out to be minimal. The uncertainty this concept caused with respect to implementing SPRINT was extensive especially in Europe. I'm hopeful the hypertension community is ready to let it go!

The association between STOPPFall medication use and orthostatic hypotension in community-dwelling older people - PubMed
Prescription of ≥2 STOPPFall medications was associated with significantly delayed BP recovery post-stand and OH. This highlights that rationalising STOPPFall medications is indicated in older people with OH.
