    ¡¾Abstract¡¿ AIM: To investigate the prescriptions of antihypertensive drugs and treatment plan of diabetic hypertensive in hospital patients. METHODS: The diabetic hypertensive patients (n=373) treated in our hospital from 2003ª²01 to 2005ª²08 were divided into 2 groups according to the departments where they were treated: Department of Endocrinology as group A (n=211), and the others as group B (n=162). Analyze their prescriptions of antihypertensive drugs and treatment plan by statistical methods. RESULTS: In the 2 groups, the usage rates of angiotensinª²converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) were 24.0% and 20.7% (P>0.05). The usage rates of angiotensin¢òª²receptor blockers (ARBs) were 22.8% and 20.7% (P>0.05). The usage rates of diuretics were 26.0% and 12.3% (P<0.01). The usage rates of calcium channel blockers (CCB) were 20.9% and 23.7% (P>0.05). The usage rates of ¦Âª²adrenergic receptor blockers (¦Âª²blockers) were 6.4% and 21.5% (P<0.01). The usage rates of ¦Áª²adrenergic receptor blockers (¦Áª² blockers) were 0.0% and 1.1%. Most prescriptions were the combinations of two or more kinds of antihypertensive drugs (94.8%, 92.6%). CONCLUSION: The usage of antihypertensive drugs in our hospital was in accordance with the JNCª²¢÷. The prescription for antihypertensive therapy was more effective in Department of Endocrinology, especially the usage of diuretics and ¦Âª²adrenergic receptor blockers. ......
