Orthostatic hypotension and health outcomes: an umbrella review of observational studies
2019
To investigate potential relationships between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and negative health outcomes and mortality, through an umbrella review with integrated meta-analyses. Orthostatic hypotension is significantly associated with several negative outcomes in older people, but a suggestive evidence is available only for higher risk of coronary heart disease congestive heart failure, stroke, falls dementia, and all-cause mortality. Orthostatic hypotension seems to be significantly associated with several negative health outcomes in older people, even if only associations with coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, stroke, falls, dementia, and all-cause mortality are supported …

Since the publication of our meta-analysis it has come to light that we inadvertently categorised one study (Gale et al. 2013) as a cross sectional study instead of its true design as a longitudinal study. We have recalculated the analyses affected which is isolated to the cross sectional longitudinal biomarkers of C reactive protein. The updated analyses have not significantly changed our findings regarding CRP or the narrative of the paper in any perceptible way. Specifically, the new OR for CRP longitudinal studies is now 1.08 (95%CI 0.87–1.34) compared to a previous value of 1.06 (95%CI: 0.78–1.44) (please see the new Fig. 1a). Similarly, after removing the study of Gale et al., the cro…
