Data from routine clinical practice have been automatically reported on a monthly basis to QregPV from all primary care centres in V\u00e4stra G\u00f6taland (population 1.67 million) since 2010. Additional data on diagnoses, dispensed drugs and socioeconomic factors were acquired through linkage to regional and national registers. We identified 259 753 patients with hypertension, but without coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, in QregPV. From 2010 to 2017, the proportion of patients with BP &amp;lt;140\/90\u2009mmHg increased from 38.9% to 49.1%, while the proportion of patients with LDL-C &amp;lt;2.6\u2009mmol\/L increased from 19.7% to 21.1% and smoking decreased from 15.7% to 12.3%. However, in 2017, only 10.0% of all patients with hypertension had attained target levels of BP &amp;lt;140\/90\u2009mmHg, LDL-C\u2009&amp;lt;\u20092.6\u2009mmol\/L while being also non-smokers.
