Under the priority topic of Hypertension, the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC)
establishes the following as key objectives to understand for candidates seeking its Certification
in the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CCFP) designation:
Methods
A search of Ovid MEDLINE was conducted using the following search terms (Table 1). Results
were restricted to primarily Canadian literature. All Ovid MEDLINE entries from 1946 were
included in the search without restriction on publication date.
Table 1. Ovid MEDLINE search terms used to identify potentially relevant records.
Ovid MEDLINE: Epub Ahead of Print, In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE®
Daily and Ovid MEDLINE® <1946-Present>
Following the initial database search, duplicate records were removed. Records were then
screened for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical practice guidelines with
applicability to relevant CFPC objectives and Canadian practice settings. Publications which
have been superseded by more current publications (i.e. where a guideline has been updated or
replaced) were also excluded. See Figure 1 for the PRISMA flow diagram illustrating this.
Figure 1. PRISMA diagram outlining identification of studies included in qualitative
review.
Lastly, searches were conducted to identify other relevant information from UpToDate, the
Canadian Task Force on Preventative Care, and Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Search of
the Canadian Cardiovascular Society site only yielded publications already identified through
database search.
